what happened to the war??? um, right, no one cares.

Not a huge Katie Couric fan, she's a news robot, but think it's interesting that when she did go into Iraq to report the story, CBS got its worst ratings EVER.

This is a really interesting article and there may be a whole bunch of reasons why we're not reporting the war anymore, gas prices, the economy, whatever, or as my colleague Angela says, "why report on something no one wants to WATCH?" Well, yes, that may be true, but it must have more to do with the weakness of our media - our inability to stand up for and to anything.

Anyway, give this a read.
