Boom goes the headline

Normally I wouldn't report that a car bomb exploded on the edge of Baghdad's Green Zone, killing 15 and injuring 40, though those numbers are expected to rise. I wouldn't mention a story like this because it would already be big news by the time I heard it, so there's no point to blogging about it. But after a quick look at Google's International headlines, it appears that this story is being buried. I guess bomb blasts and things not going so well in happy-fun land isn't newsworthy anymore?

I surely hope my criticism of the media is proven unfounded and we hear about this story as the day progresses. As for right now, I'm pretty disappointed.
