Why isn't this stuff being reported by the News?

Check out this column, and please tell me why these things- especially the dead women and kids in the mosque- are not plastered across the front page, or being loudly reported on the evening news?

It's all damned important, it greatly affects how people see what's going on, so why isn't it widely reported by the big media outlets?

In some cases, it may indeed be 'institutionalized blindness' to things reporters don't like, but in many I'm now convinced it's because a lot of 'journalists' don't want people to know about it; it'll undercut what the 'journalists' want us to think.

(yeah, I'm putting journalists in scare quotes; what they're doing is scary)

Update: there's a letter at this site claiming that the mess noted above didn't happen. Have to scroll down a ways to get to the letter in question.
