If a Soldier Doesn't Fall In Iraq, Does It Make the News?

Barely.

You haven’t read about this on the front page of the NYTimes, have you?  Doesn’t fit the narrative:

There have certainly been several days in the past month when no US or British soldiers were killed.

During a five-day stretch between October 19 and 23, there were no deaths among coalition forces. Although three US servicemen died from “non-hostile causes”, this was the longest period without combat deaths for almost four years. And, between October 27 and 29, there were more days without coalition deaths.

Tony Snow has a theory about the genesis of systemic media bias.  And he doesn't mind sharing it with his colleagues.

(For some reason, that didn't get much coverage either.)
