Why is US Media Ignoring WhitePhosphorus Story?

InternetMovieDataBase: "The prestigious Columbia Jrnlism Review is raising questions about why the US news media have virtually ignored a documentary produced by RAI, the Italian state TV network, alleging that the US used wht phosph against insurgent and civilian targets in Fallujah 1 yr ago. "Most damning is footage of bodies burnt to the bone, apparently the result of chemical burns. This story demands a closer look from the US press. We deserve to know whether or not the allegations have any merit -- and whether or not the military has been misleading us about the weapons it's using in Iraq," the CJR article concluded. Well, at least the Boston Globe covered the issue, and the Wash Post did cover it in '04... yet the Pentagon continues the spin w/fabrications like this from the State Dept's site. That's fine... I like my fabrications followed up w/a double shot of REALITY, thanks.
