An OT question
I don't really think it is a liberal conspiracy though. I think the TV networks just figured out they sell more products if they don't show coffins and they like the American public to be as blissfully ignorant of this war as Oprah. It does demonstrate how phony the righteous indignation of the left was when Bush was the president. It was never about the war. It was only about Bush. *OBama* deserved every bit of indignation. He *is* a punk and bully. You made a couple of typos but I fixed them for you. |

The media fought Bush for the right to go out to Dover and take pictures of coffins from the Iraq war and now that they have that right, they are not showing the coffins coming home from Afghanistan. They do not "have the right" to do it. They have the right to get permission from the families. It does demonstrate how phony the righteous indignation of the left was when Bush was the president. It was never about the war. It was only about Bush. Bush deserved every bit of indignation. He was a punk and bully. Thanks for confirming what I said. I find it disturbing that you would support such a jerk. He played a huge role in ruining our economy, destroying our credibility abroad, and caused 1000s of our brave troops to be killed and maimed. It's a work in progress, dear. |

That's about as simple-minded an analysis as I've seen. Maybe there's less reportage about the bodies because it's been reported and it's boring. |

It is all agenda driven, they do not want the people angry at the Democrat in the White House. |

Obama rescinded that. http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/news/20090226/index.htm 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..... http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/201...-17-2011/86214 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. |

So you are saying Bush made war a safe prospect for Democrats? Now nobody cares that our kids are being killed for no particular reason and they can stay in the blissful ignorance Oprah is so proud of. No, I am not saying that Bush made way a "safe prospect." What I posted, in plain English, is easy enough to understand: maybe there is less reportage about the bodies because it's been reported and it's boring. The young U.S. men and women who died in Iraq during Bush's war were killed for no particular reason. The last time large numbers of U.S. troops died for a particular reason was in World War II. The question still stands, where is the outrage from the left about the kids who are still coming home from Afghanistan in a box? Will there be any outrage about dead kids coming home from Libya? The whole topic *bores* Krause. |
