Funny how 200 people died in Iraq today. The largest death count in a single day since the war started and for US news stations it's almost just a foot note.

I know the VT shooting is a big deal, but you would think something like 200 people dieing in a country we are currently at war in. Well you would think it would be a bigger story than a second day news on a mas shooting.

Not to take away from the students that lost their lives but I guess it's simple..

33 college students and one "mad man" > 200 Iraqi civilians

hence the reason I don't even bother to check US news stations anymore.
