The methods of slanting the news

Or, in the words of James Taranto, "[T]he surest sign that the journalistic obsession with Abu Ghraib has gotten out of hand is the way news stories on unrelated topics ritually invoke it."

I hope he makes it a new feature "Abu Ghraib Non Sequitur Watch," or just a generic "Journalistic Obsession Watch."
