Real Clear Politics has an interesting comparasin of the relative importance placed on the Abu Ghraib prison photos and the Nick Berg beheading video by the leading left- and right-wing blogs, based upon the number of times about which the two subjects were written:

"As of early this morning, here is how they've covered the Berg story. Atrios devoted one post to the story (here). Daily Kos has devoted two posts (here and here). Josh Marshall devoted zero posts to the story, but he did post an email exchange with a reader yesterday explaining why he had skipped over the story (here).

Both Atrios and Marshall take the line that Berg's murder was an outrage and, well, there just isn't much more to say about it than that. (You certainly don't get that impression if you read the coverage at the three biggest conservative-leaning blogs Instapundit, Andrew Sullivan, and The Corner)."

Nor this blog.
