Propaganda

Did anyone else notice this paragraph, tucked into the middle of the New York Time's current attempt at propaganda, "A Call to Jihad, Answered in America:"
The story of the Twin Cities men does not lend itself to facile categorizations. They make up a minuscule percentage of their Somali-American community, and it is unclear whether their transformation reflects any broader trend. Nor are they especially representative of the wider Muslim immigrant population, which has enjoyed a stable and largely middle-class existence.
I just wonder why a report detailing a "miniscule percentage" that is "not especially representative" warrants a front page, above the fold placement in the Sunday Edition, complete with two page spread inside, including around 5 color photographs.  I'm just saying.
