Wouldn't you think an atrocity in which little children's heads were cut off by al Qaeda would merit coverage by American news media? Especially if the reporters had been told about it? Especially if a different atrocity that was supposed to show sectarian conflict was reported, only to be proved a fabrication?
A public investigation surely seems warranted. At some point the American people have to ask more probing questions about the quality of news they are getting and what the sources are that the US media are employing--figuratively and literally. And if the news executives back in the States have integrity they will want to fire people who are not doing their jobs properly.
