'Times' Hides Good Iraq News on Front Page

Do you think The New York Times's front-page story on Iraq today was prominent enough to attract the notice of Fox News's Chris Wallace?

It was just three weeks ago, you'll recall, that Wallace was criticizing the Times for its failure to report on the improving security conditions in Iraq. That charge was bogus at the time, and it's even more bogus now, with the paper devoting prime A1, above-the-fold real estate to a story that contains this paragraph:

The security improvements in most neighborhoods are real. Days now pass without a car bomb, after a high of 44 in the city in February. The number of bodies appearing on Baghdad's streets has plummeted to about 5 a day, from as many as 35 eight months ago, and suicide bombings across Iraq fell to 16 in October, half the number of last summer and down sharply from a recent peak of 59 in March, the American military says.

I called and emailed Wallace earlier today to see if he's prepared to retract his criticisms, or if he won't be satisfied until the paper changes its name to The New York Times Are Really Getting Better in Baghdad, Don't You Think? I'll let you know if he responds.
