Case in point:

MSNBC World News Page Headlines:

AROUND THE WORLD
• Britain's Queen celebrates 80th birthday, again
• South Africans mark pivotal Soweto uprising
• China hears trial of New York Times researcher
• Toxic spill in China nears water for 10 million
• Quartet deal seen imminent on Palestinian aid
• Newsweek: World leaders exploit Bush’s weakness
• 2 trapped by Mount Merapi debris found dead
• Britain offers to imprison ex-Liberian leader

CONFLICT IN IRAQ
• Baghdad mosque attack kills 10
• U.S. death toll in Iraq hits 2,500
• New inquiry after deaths in U.S. custody
• WP: Militias control many Iraqi prisons
• House rejects Iraq withdrawal deadline

NEWSWEEK INTERNATIONAL EDITION
• How the U.S. found Zarqawi
• The next generation of terror
• America's Mexico takeover
• Is Russia unfit for the WTO?
• The world's true game


So, out of the 5 headlines deemed fit for their Conflict in Iraq front page headlines, 5/5 are negative stories and not a single mention of almost 1,000 insurgents killed or captured in the last week. Somehow, a mosque attack that kills 10 civilians leads the stories though. 10 civilians killed vs 902 insurgents or suspected insurgents killed or captured...

Hrm....
