Apparently, editors at MSNBC.com

Apparently, editors at MSNBC.com and CNN.com believe that Bush's routine colonoscopy is far more important than the demolition of the Palestinian headquarters. As of this writing, both sites feature large leads of the Bush story with only minor placements for the Palestine HQ story. Seeing as the HQ explosion was supposedly orchestrated by the Israeli military, in a city that has been placed off limits to journalists, and that there were possibly fifteen men still inside, Bush's butt hardly seems comparable.

It's no wonder that media critics often complain that American news editors are too easy on Israel. What more evidence do you need? Never mind the explosions, let's all gather 'round and read the canned stories about the succession of the U.S. presidency...

Update: It seems that the leads on the site homepages have finally been adjusted with more attention to actual news.
