Because its not a few isolated incidents of Koran desecration?

Its hanging people by chains, and chaining them in the fetal positon in a freezing room for 24+ hours.

Its not letting people use a bathroom and forcing them to be chained in that freezing or boiling room while on the ground in their own shit and piss.

These are the things that they are raving about. The Koran incedents are in the news because they are part of the issue, a small part.

So, why do we only see the Koran issues?

Because the main stream media is a largly conservative medium, and they continue to be supported by the status quo. They are big corporations and generally do not act in ways contrary to their parent companies best interest.

Back long before the whole big "outsourcing" issue was going on, GE was outsourcing many many jobs. The reason you didnt hear about it before it was a big issue, or when it was a big issue, is that GE owns one of the major media companies. Such, they wouldnt touch it.

Now, the major media benefits from continuing to cooperate with this administration, and is partialy scared of being labeled partisan. Such the "he said, she said" political commentary and analysis.

So you get an amalgamation of issues where this is labeled a partisan political issue, then its passed on into the news, where many people mainly ignore it. At which point it becomes a "he said, she said" issue, and then its whatever is sensational.

"Durbin says we are nazi's!" sounds a lot better than

"Durbin cited a FBI report detaling abuses at Gitmo!"

And of course, once it gets to the pubbies, they will turn it around and make the issue the dumb comment, and not the substance.

So its a combination of non-colluding factors that create the conditions.
