Hi ALP
You have not understood my point last time and it is perhaps save to predict that you won't understand it now if one extrapolates future behaviour from past actions.
Nevertheless I give it another try. Here my main point again:
----------
IBC gives a long list of media the apparently cover, when it comes down to it they actually only quote a few different sources in their database. Nothing wrong with this, but the perceptions you and IBC are giving are not warranted - and, ALP, you know this!
Here the list from last autumn again.
Source % Cum
1 Reuters 15.5% 15%
2 Associated Press 12.7% 28%
3 Agence France-Presse 9.4% 38%
4 Washington Post 8.7% 46%
5 Al Sharqiyah TV 5.8% 52%
6 Cable News Network 4.7% 57%
7 Los Angeles Times 4.6% 61%
8 Voices of Iraq 3.7% 65%
9 New York Times 3.6% 69%
10 Kuwaiti News Agency 3.6% 72%
11 National Iraqi News Agency 3.4% 76%
12 McClatchy Newspapers 3.4% 79%
13 Deutsche Presse-Agentur 2.2% 81%
14 Xinhua News Agency 2.0% 83%
15 MoH 1.9% 85%
16 Morgue 0.9% 86%
17 Al Jazeera (Web) 0.8% 87%
18 Middle East Online 0.8% 88%
19 The Independent 0.8% 89%
20 The Guardian 0.7% 89%
