The media in the USA is woeful to say the least - and that includes such supposed quality newspapers like the NY Times. Coverage of international events is, mostly, totally missing or such reporting as there is hopelessly inadequate. Where there is reporting of a subject, the analysis is mostly shallow or from a perspective which is wrong-headed by any yardstick.
Scott Horton, writing on Harper's Magazine takes up the topic of what has, or has not been reported during this month:
"I used to try to keep track of the significant national security questions which appear to have been spiked by some sort of editorial consensus in the mainstream media, on the theory that what they choose not to report tells us at least as much about the editorial state-of-mind as what they report. So here’s my missing news items report for the month of January".
