"I wonder what the formula is." I think the threshold for the front page is five dead American soldiers, depending on the other news in the cycle.

re: NBC just interrupted its news program to announce that 9 more US soldiers have died when a suicide bomber exploded in Baghdad. Front page headlines in my paper this morning. If two die it's buried on page 7. I wonder what the formula is. I think we are fast approaching the breaking point. The surge isn't working and more American soldiers have died in the past three months, then at any time during the war. Everyone whose following this mess knows it.....esp. the media.
