Sen Russ Feingold (D-Ghost) Invisible To CNN.com

This is the headline at CNN.com

McCain urges Iraq to form government

The story carries quotes from Republican Senator McCain and not one from Feingold who also urged Iraq to get busy forming a unity government. How do I know? Because I checked out MSNBC.

MSNBC had this headline.

McCain, Feingold pressure Iraq’s leaders

Their story includes the words of both senators.

Hmmm. Interesting. Wonder if there's any more info out there.


How about Agence France-Presse (AFP)? Here's their headline.

US congressmen pressure Iraqis on government

AFP's story [their photo], while emphasising McCain's words, also quotes Feingold, identifies several others in the delegation and includes a quote from Representative Thomas Udall (D-NM).

MSM dictates what you see. They decide what's important for America to know. Read only CNN.com and you won't know other senators as well as state governors were also pressuring Iraq.

There may be more stories out there and I might eventually have found all of Washington DC was in Iraq. But I got bored looking.
