It seems U.S. media are overlooking events in Iraq on purpose as if they were under the control of a government in a Third Word country.
The negligence with which U.S. media have been treating events in Iraq raises suspicion and shows that they pay lip service to notions of democratic values.
Otherwise, how could one explain the almost total blackout of the anti-government demonstrations in Baghdad and other Iraqi cities during the so-called Friday of Wrath in which tens of thousands of Iraqis went to streets demanding better living conditions and recognition of their rights as human beings.
