Default In the news: Rocket, mortar fire at 21 month low (850 US soldiers died this month, top)

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071112/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq

When the Iraq war broke out newsmedia did not report the first anti-
Iraq war protests
in the USA for three weeks. Protesters were cleaned from the streets
of DC with
giant fishing nets.

The Iraq war was the world's most protested war. 15 million protested
worldwide
before the war. Yet in US newspapers there was nothing about protests
in the
USA. Media owners in the USA claimed the public is not interested in
Iraq war
news.
