Is CNN.com Serious?

As you may (or may not) know, on Monday the FBI foiled a terrorist plot against Fort Dix arresting six radical Islamists living in the Cherry Hill, NJ area. The men were planning on inflitrating the base and firing on soldiers and civilians with AK-47 assault rifles. The terrorists had been scouting the base and training for months in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey. According to federal authorities, the men were entering the "last stage of planning" of their attack as they attempted to purchase AK-47s and M-16s from an FBI informant. On Wednesday, the men were charged with immigration violations and terrorism charges.

However, CNN.com has buried the story. There is no mention of the arrest or the charges that had been filed on Wednesday. Instead, headlines such as "Retired Generals launch anti-war ad" and "The Ugly Side of Paris Hilton" grace the front page of "The most trusted name in news"'s internet flagship.

FoxNews, The Drudge Report, and MSNBC.com all have prominent front page stories about the event at the time of this posting.

One must wonder where CNN's head is at in terms of this story's coverage. It seems both odd and disturbing that CNN would bury the story about a potentially catastrophic terrorist attack on American soil in the back pages of it's website. Most visitors to these news websites often only view their front pages, and one would think that this story is a tad more important than what Paris Hilton says or does when she wakes up on the wrong side of the bed.
