If a protest happens in Iraq and no one reports on it, does it make any noise?

Le Monde, France's "paper of record" covers the anti-occupation rallies in Iraq this Monday, complete with video- it bears noticing that this story doesn't make it into the top stories on CNN.com, FoxNews.com, or MSNBC.com despite taking place TODAY and being a non-violent protest which drew thousands of participants. It's a sidebar on the New York Times website and made it onto the BBC homepage, but it's certainly not highlighted as a top story. We wonder why so many Americans are uninformed about what's going on Iraq- perhaps because no one bothers to do any actual reporting?
