#4 MSM snuggles in a little closer with our enemies and wonders why their circulation and stock plummet.

Here's the real story:
In all, more than 100 people were reported killed in a string of attacks and engagements across Afghanistan that started Wednesday and continued through Thursday: up to 87 insurgents, at least 15 Afghan police, an American civilian training Afghan forces, and the first female Canadian soldier to die in combat.

#5 The article in today's Gazette from Newsday never does mention that most of those killed were Taliban. They also say only 8 to 50 Taliban "may" have been killed. Damned traitors.
