WG,
There are a few reasons HR 121 didn’t make the news.

First, it’s not news - not because it’s not important, but because it was passed on July 30th. While TPR News has not been released on schedule, it simply doesn’t make sense to try to include everything that happened over the past couple of weeks in one news release.

Second, it’s not that important. It certainly wouldn’t trump anything that’s in the post now.

Third, we reported the passage of HR 121, and I said all I have to say about it, in this Shasetsu from August 2nd.

Hope that clears things up - don’t worry, we’re not suppressing or ignoring it, just, well, done with it.

Wonder why? It simply isn't an important issue, and it has no impact whatsoever on events. I can't speak for Garrett, as this is his news release, but I personally didn't see how the passage of the resolution was significant enough to make the news.

If you check the shasetsu section you'll be able to view them. I'm guessing they decided to leave it out because of devoting two editorials this month to the resolution.
