The CNN/BBCs of the world have had a lot on their plates recently...Middle East violence, USS Cole, Election...

Wonder why the 'freedom fighter' cause has turned mute recently? But, you can always get info straight from the horse's mouth.

Well, I suppose that the russian Troops are dying, and the Chechen Rebels are getting more fanatic by the second (at least some of them).
Russia should'nt have done what it has done, its only demoralising the people!

I find it funny how CNN seems to forget about things all of the sudden. A while ago they had big reports on Dagestan and then all of the sudden it was over (even though there was still stuff going on there). Same with Kosovo, Iraq, and Israel now. Last week they had big discussions about Israel. Now it is just 30 second blurbs, even though there is just as much violence.

Whistler...what you are going on about and accssing CNN of doing is no different from any other main stream or even little news organisation around the world.

They pick up on a story...let it run its course...get x points of ratings...then the story dies. End of story as they say.

EVERY news agency on the face of this planet does it...so why is it so bad that CNN does it?
