Isn't this at least the third time you've played this game? You tried it once with two different plane crashes in different countries and then there was something else one other time as well.
Once I wondered why a plane crash that costed a couple of lifes got a breaking news email and front page on CNN while a commercial jet that crashed in Asia with a lot more dead didn´t even make it to the front page of CNN.
The other? Hmm. It might have been the day I got a breaking news email that GWB had undergone surgery for a harmless skin cancer and the surgery had taken place a week before (it even got elevated to developing news. "This just in: it was on his left chin"). It was during the Afghan war and I never got any email about the wedding that ended abroubt.
But this time was actually different. I just wanted to know if we were so overloaded with news that we were unable to remember the incidents from eachother.
Media is best obtained from multiple international sources. Expecting impartial, 'objective' coverage from the country who instigated this war is ridiculous. Which doesn't mean you shouldn't read cnn.com ("Operation: Iraqi Freedom" ROTFL), but rather you should take it with large handfuls of rock-salt.

What was your theory?

Partly what I wrote just below what you quote and partly what I wrote just above this post.

Al Jazeera is the least biased of these three.
Ack! My sides hurt so bad right now. What are you trying to do kill me? *whew*
