Flypaper Follies

The most obvious lies

Stop the presses! They've installed new toilets in Tikrit!
Glenn Reynolds has decided that he can best serve his leader by killing the messenger -- now that the message doesn't fit his mindset. He's going on and on about biased coverage in Iraq. I suggested to Glenn in an email that he check his local newspaper. Is soccer field construction running above the fold? How about that new bathroom in the elementary school? No? Could it be that such things just aren't as newsworthy as car bombs and combat deaths? It could be and it is. Is this a new concept for Glenn? I bet not. He's a smart guy. I bet he's more than familiar with the way the news biz works. It's just helpful to ignore it so that he can keep hammering away at that messenger, now that he disagrees with the message.
