Post-Dispatch's Mayer on Our Grand Ole Victory
In a recent post on the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's "The Platform", intern Alex Mayer refers to the recent Daily Show interview with Lara Logan,
where Logan describes how difficult it is to get coverage of Iraq and
Afghanistan into the mainstream media lately. He notes that Logan's
claims are supported by a recent article in the New York Times that shows that coverage of the war in Iraq has dropped precipitously in recent months.
This is all fine and good reportage, but check out the next doozy from Mayer:
The reason for this? I'd be willing to bet that the
correlation between the drop in violence, insurgent attacks, and U.S.
casualties in Iraq and a drop in news coverage is by no means
coincidental.
