If you want to call one paragraph in the NYT at the end of a 400 word story "coverage," I guess I'd have to hand you that one.

Fox News, I would think you would have to agree, would fall into the same category as the coverage in the Washington Times. That leaves one bit on CNN. I didn't see the coverage on NBC, but I take your word for it.

Smaller city and local papers have covered this, and I have seen some examples. The point is, given how the mainstream media work, if the NYT and Washington Post spike something, it's pretty well spiked.

The Washington Post still comes up zero, although, as I predicted, they did cover this protest. Conjecture, huh? If I drop a hammer it isn't "conjecture" to say it will hit the ground. I will concede that it didn't make the front page, but it's slightly longer than one paragraph.

The Philadelphia Enquirer did have a story on Thursday. It took a while to find it on the front page, but it's noted at the lower right under "More Iraq Coverage Inside."
