When do we report the news?

[Mr. Dictator]

The real number is about 30,000 (when you don't just count your neighbors).

Where's the story on that?

When it's profitable.

There's the answer to the title question. Follow the money.

Since when is it news that Afghanistan is a fustercluck?

 

[Flying Pig]

I remember our news reported it when the number of deaths in Afghanistan became greater than the number killed in the Falklands - our last unilateral 'proper' war - but I think the general sentiment here is correct. Numbers in themselves don't have any meaning.

It's not really about being "news". It's about what people will tune in to watch.

News reports changes in the world. This isn't a change.
