Required Reading: International News
It’s 8:34am on the morning of Monday, March 5. After prayer, I begin my day with a bit of a news round-up. And this morning I noticed a unique difference:
Front and center of the BBC‘s page was this story: “More civilians die in Afghanistan” (as a result of US bombing)
But in supposedly “liberal” American media, the story barely registers: at the New York Times website the story way below the fold, so to speak; at NPR.org it at least appears in a “latest headlines” box, and the L.A. Times has it above the fold on the front page of their site. And just out of curiosity, I checked at CNN.com (which I hardly ever look at) and the story nowhere appears. (I can’t bring myself to look at FoxNews.com.)
