Last night I heard Oprah saying the war in Afghanistan had very little impact on

That made me wonder...why don't we see the pictures of the dead, their caskets,
etc, like we did when Bush was president.

We used to see their pictures on NBC and other newscasts, and even in the big
papers. Now we see nothing of the sort.

Anyone?

Are you stupid or just lying? Bush was the one who banned photography
of the caskets. Obama rescinded that.

emdeplume, kick you butt off your shoulders, you will see the real
situation a lot better.

I believe the policy banning of the casket photography was in effect during the
Clinton administration. Bush simply enforced it.

In any case, so what? Why is this liberal president not showing all the caskets?

Why not write Fox News and ask them.... you could post their response
here....

The question had to do with the major media, not Fox. Fox wasn't, as far as I
know, broadcasting pictures of dead soldiers like the major media were.

Why is the major media not doing the same now?

I suppose that's a rough question for a liberal.

Maybe you should define "major media." Since FOX leads what I would
call major media by at least a 2 to 1 margin, I thought they were
major media.... silly me.....

Too much of a challenge?

Major television media, to me, include NBC, ABC, and CBS, not the cable news
networks such as CNN, MSNBC, or FOX. Major newsprint media include the
Washington Post, NY Times, LA Times, USA Today, etc. None of them are pushing
pictures of dead soldiers as they were when Bush was president.

Nothing challenging there.
