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.

We used to see their pictures on NBC and other newscasts, and even in the big

Are you stupid or just lying? Bush was the one who banned photography

Nobody seems to give a **** about dead Arabs.
That is why it is easy to throw around terms like "no fly zones"

Really? Where did he say that? I don't see any reference to dead
Arabs. He's a right-wing liar, who doesn't give a fig about facts.

I was wrong, I did misread the first note. John does have a point
though. 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.

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.

You hit the simple minded jackpot Harry. Plume is a novice compared to

YOU ARE TOTALLY FRIKKEN UNBELIEVABLE.

As soon as a Republican occupies the White House the images will return
to the nightly news and the front pages of newspapers and periodicals.

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

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

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.
