Or maybe the word is leaking out. So says AP over at HA (video, too).
The problem with the coverage is that it takes spectacular gains, like the Iraqi army rolling onto Mookie’s home turf in Sadr City, to break through the media narrative while even minor setbacks, which fit the narrative, are easily assimilated and thus coverage-worthy. How many spectacular gains will it take, I wonder, before the narrative itself starts to change?
Uh, don't hold your breath on the that last answer, AP.
