Troops Killed In Afghanistan

[CSpindizzy]

I find it ironic that when Bush was President, media coverage of troops killed in both Iraq and Afghanistan received top headlines daily. The media seemed to "care" about those who died.

Now with Obama President, coverage for those deaths seems to get second billing if at all. With deaths increasing exponentially in Afghanistan, the concern that was expressed should 'in theory' carry over.

I wonder how long it takes until the mood of the media turns back again.

Not that anyone is paying much attention to the
media anymore, something like 79% of people
surveyed claimed to mistrust so-called mainstream
media these days.

I guess Ramsey Clarke and International ANSWER are too busy to protest the war now. They must be down in Haiti helping with earthquake relief efforts.

They made a pact with the wrong people. Its not going to turn out well for them.

A guy in Iraq throws a shoe at GW and he's an instant celebrity. Someone in the US tosses a book at BO and it s a blip.
