And from the same article:

"• Media coverage is like a spotlight. It shines a bright light on the topic at hand, casting other issues into darkness and obscurity. Other, bloodier conflicts are escaping world attention. So far about 40 Israelis and 400 Lebanese have been killed. Far more Iraqi civilians have been killed in sectarian violence in the same period, but you wouldn't know that from watching cable news. As the international community focuses on Lebanon, the genocide in Darfur carries on unabated, with more than 300,000 dead and at least 2.5 million displaced. And the war in the Congo -- the bloodiest conflict since World War II, with more than 4 million deaths and millions displaced -- continues."

Read it and weep.
