Re-enlistment of Armed Forces

"Buried in all the mainstream media coverage this week over new terrorist bombings in London, space shuttles that didn't launch, the trashing of Karl Rove and the nomination of a new Supreme Court justice was a little-noted item about reenlistments in the U.S. armed forces exceeding expectations. USA Today offered some prominence to the story, but it was widely ignored by most of the Fourth Estate. Perhaps that's because it's a 'good news story."
--Oliver North

This story had two strikes against it, minimizing its' chances to get news coverage:
1). It's a "good news" story, and
2). It's a good news story about the "hated army of Satan." Yes, I know, they
"support the troops."
