Personally I think the word "NEWS" sort of gives it away...
George and Tony (and Gordon)'s wars are not NEW - the viewing audience were made aware of their wars starting and have moved their interest on to NEW events.
It's sad from our perspective but the publishing media don't headline stories about everyday events. (And for those who are hard of thinking - the sad thing is that Servicemen being killed and maimed a few thousand miles to the east of Westminster is virtually an everyday event - THANKS TONY!!!)
