Investor’s Business Daily puts it all in perspective:

We interrupt coverage of Bristol Palin’s pregnancy to announce that the U.S. has turned over control of Iraq’s wild, wild west to Baghdad. Memo to Barack Obama: Soon you will have nothing left to surrender.

It’s a good read. Key media observations:

On Monday, while Democrats waited to see if Hurricane Gustav would be another Katrina and the GOP juggled its convention schedule, U.S. commanders formally returned responsibility for security in Iraq’s Anbar province to the Iraqi Army and police.
Maybe you missed it. The New York Times Web page had three stories on Bristol Palin. The Washington Post’s online magazine, Slate, is running a “Name Bristol Palin’s Baby” contest. And Us Weekly has “Babies, Lies and Scandal” on its cover.
