Because I was interested in more details about the curfew imposed in Bagdhad over the weekend, I have been looking for reports in the US media. Wapo, NYT, LaTimes, Tribune: NOT one of these so-called news outlets is reporting on this, at least in prominent spaces on their web sites (and for two of them, I know they have nothing in their print editions. Meanwhile, Reuters and the BBC are reporting on this story, as are many other papers in Europe, the Mideast and Australia.
Even weirder?
The Chicago Tribune's digital front page has a headline on this story, but the link takes you to a different story from Iraq. What is going on? Is this just incompetence?
God, I can't believe how little faith I have in the American news media.
