All the news that's fit to print goes to the back of the paper.

Hat tip to Andy McCarthy for this in the New York Times.
American forces have routed Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia, the Iraqi militant network, from every neighborhood of Baghdad, a top American general said today, allowing American troops involved in the “surge” to depart as planned.
You'd think this would be front page news, but it's not. It's on page A19 of today's paper. The front page was spent bashing the economy and Rudy for Robertson's endorsement.
Don't worry though. Iraq will be on the front page again, just as soon as something bad happens.
Actually paging through the New York Times is an amazing thing--a colleague and I just went through our copy in the office and they can put a lot of news in those first 15 pages before you get to this article--all of which is, in the opinion of the editors, more "newsworthy."
