I Forgot About the War
Here’s a great piece by Joanne Ostrow, the TV critic at the Denver Post:
It may not be an overstatement to say that Iraq war coverage is declining so fast that some viewers may forget we’re at war by the end of the year. According to the Tyndall Report, for the first 37 weeks of 2007 (January-September) when Gen. Petraeus concluded his testimony on Capitol Hill, the total number of minutes the three network nightly newscasts devoted to Iraq was 1,659.
In the subsequent 12 weeks of 2007 (September-December), the three-network total of minutes devoted to Iraq coverage was 197.
Go, read the rest. And, Joanne, just so you know, we’ve killed just about 20,000 terrorists in Iraq in the same timeframe. You forgot to mention that.
