Why Isn't the AP Pushing Casualty Figures in Afghanistan?

Simple.

They're not high enough for the AP to care, and therefore (in MSM logic) are not newsworthy enough to fit the ubernarrative of "XXXX Troops are dead in this unpopular war."

Report the US deaths. Ignore the terrorist deaths. Report the terrorist's progress and victory. Ignore the US's progress and victory.

That's like reporting the number of penalty yards accrued by the winning team in the Superbowl while ignoring the final score. In the last Superbowl, the Colts actually had more penalty yards that the Bears, yet won handily.

Header using AP logic?

PENALTIES BESET COLTS, LOSE 40 YARDS TOTAL TO BEARS 35

1 The more I learn that the media doesn't report or rather half reports the more disgusted I get.

2 I bet they would've had a field day with the war in Normandy, or the war in Iwo Jima, or the war in Midway, or the war in Bastogne

3 But Lt., if they reported the whole truth it would seem that the coalition is winning in Afghanistan and the commie's and mo-slimes cann't have that, now can they?
