There's a coup or a rebellion or a full blown revolution or something going on in Kyrgyzstan and nobody noticed.
There's no mineral wealth to get excited about; the country occupies no big-deal strategic space; there are no important roads or other lines of communication; and if the US hadn't established an air base at the capital city's airport (using it as a big staging area for our efforts in Afghanistan - and overpaying for it as usual BTW), we wouldn't know anything about anything going on there. But the really big thing that they don't have is - Twitter! Which is why we're not getting much in the way of "reporting".
If the News Poodles want the story, they'll have to work to get it; so of course, that means we'll hear practically nothing about it.
