8 US soldiers died in Iraq yesterday
8 soldiers not coming home. If the reality matches history, another 65 or so wounded.
Didja see that on your TV today?
Must be a full news day today, what with 15 minutes each hour going to team coverage of the death of cable TV personality.
When did the death of American soldiers stop being newsworthy?
How many have to die to make a headline?

No, but I do know much more about how stingrays usually don't kill people, what they eat, where they live, and how Jessica Simpson is not dating one. Now.
Good grief.
Thanks for the link.

Exactly. I just don't understand how they can not even mention it.

Double digits? I don't know.

I've been thinking about this alot. I would guess 8-10 if it was one attack. 15-20 if it was country wide. Or 1 if it was in any country besides Iraq or Afghanistan.
Because, apparently, lives have a shifting news value.
