Well, duh: Headlines below the fold

The LA Times notices that 45% of the foreign jihadis in Iraq, including a lot of the suicide bombers, are from Saudi.
Well, duh. You just noticed?
Next thing you know they will find out that Saudi Charities fund terror, and Saudi funded madrasses teach radicalized intolerant Islam that encourages jihad...or that there are a million Catholics in Saudi but no churches allowed...

NYTimes admits that North Korea shutting down their nuclear reactor is a diplomatic triumph for Bush...but they spend two paragraphs reminding readers of his "failures" which is out of context to the subject discussed. Editorializing in news stories? well, duh.

The BBC is in trouble for creative cutting of a documentary that made the Queen seem like a hot tempered old lady...but the incident never happened...and there is a big scandal about it in the UK...
The BEEB slanting the news? well, duh...

MEMRI, an organization that translates what is being written in the press of the Middle East (news that is rarely reported of course) has started an economic blog.
Well, duh. quick: when was the last time you read about Dubai?
