Yes, yes I do. Do you get your jollies urinating on Iraqi POWs?
For Christ’s sake Milum, no less than that bastion of the “liberal media”, mouthpiece of the left, New York Times spent months at least doing a page a day of profiles of the people who died in the Twin Towers.
If you are going to yell bias every time someone honors American dead in a way that you think is not politically correct then you can at least get your freakin’ facts straight!
My local ABC affilliate is a Sinclair station, and it was on in the other room while I was cooking. (Yes, I frequently cook at 11:30 at night.) They ran their own half-hour “special report”, which as far as I could tell was part explanation for why they didn’t run it, and part (bigger part) their own sort of memorial, which appeared to be the usual schmaltzy God-Bless-the-USA type of thing where the human cost is mentioned only in vague terms.
Did anyone catch more than my fractured viewing of this?
I thought **Sam ** had a good point about Afghanistan in terms of trying to divine the motive behind this show. You are the one wha is adding the term “inappropriate” to the action. Something can be political (which this appears to be, at least to some extent) and still be appropriate.
The debate here is: are they honoring the dead, or making a political statement. Looks like a little of both, and I don’t think there is anything wrong with that.
It’s a bit disingenuous to compare the death rate of one month to Vietnam. But the media folks are free to make any statement they deem appropriate.
