POPSLately, Iraq news vanishes from the MSM • Iraqi civilian casualties are down two-thirds from their peak in December 2006. • Iraq's government and the U.S. military say al-Qaida has been vanquished in Baghdad, as thousands of Iraqi families return to the capital to rebuild their lives. • The U.S. has announced it will remove 3,000 troops, with more to follow in coming months, as the wind-down of the surge begins. But so it goes with anti-war news organizations that aggressively report setbacks in Iraq but give short, if any, shrift to the positive developments. It's to the point where some news observers use the absence of news about Iraq as a bellwether of U.S. progress — the old "no news is good news" indicator.

POPSObama, Clinton vote to not fund our troops. Very interesting considering Obama said this not to long ago: "If President Bush vetoes an Iraq war spending bill as promised, Congress quickly will provide the money without the withdrawal timeline the White House objects to because no lawmaker ``wants to play chicken with our troops,'' Sen. Barack Obama said Sunday."

This is really awesome, it's like a stock exchange market except not wtih companies, but with the news. Ex. if you bought 100 shares of David Beckham before he moved to the states (and appeared in thousands of news articles) you are now probably a millionare! Really fun to do and helps you keep yourself up to date.

POPSBuzztracker: World News Mapped. This is a good place to see a visualtization of news stories, it shows the location of the newspaper, and the location the news story is refering too. So you can kind of see what country's news papers focus on what. Of course it has links to all the aritcles it is using, so it is a good place for news too.
