that the Liberal Media’s insistence on reporting only “bad news” like this from Iraq --

2 CBS crew members killed in Iraq bombing

A cameraman and soundman for CBS were killed and a CBS correspondent was seriously injured Monday after their convoy was struck by a roadside bomb in Iraq, the network said.

Veteran cameraman Paul Douglas, 48, and soundman James Brolan, 42, were killed, CBS said in a statement. Correspondent Kimberly Dozier, 39, was in critical condition at a U.S. military hospital in Baghdad after undergoing surgery.

Doctors were "cautiously optimistic about her prognosis," according to the statement from CBS News.

The three were reporting on patrol with the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, when their convoy was hit by an improvised explosive device, CBS said.

...
In January, ABC anchorman Bob Woodruff and cameraman Doug Vogt were injured in a roadside bombing while reporting on the war.

They were standing in the hatch of an Iraqi mechanized vehicle, reporting on the war from the Iraqi troops' perspective, when the roadside bomb exploded. Both were wearing body armor, which doctors say likely saved their lives. Woodruff is recovering from serious head injuries.

Iraq, where 23 journalists were killed last year, remained the most dangerous country in which to report the news, according to The International Press Institute.

-- means the vital Good News stories -- like a nine-year-old in Tikrit who had his face licked by an adorable puppy -- will be spiked.

And the fact that water rations in the formerly-advanced nation of Iraq may well be increased for 1 to 1.3 hours a day will be criminally underreported.

And somewhere the plight of a blonde co-ed who got hammered and ran away will momentarily go perilously under-televised.

God Damned Angry Liberals and their God Damned America-Hating Media!

Spoiling a perfectly nice Monday when we’re supposed to take a minute or two away from the barbecue to remember those that have fallen in old-timey wars by blabbing about those that are dying here and now.

Don’t they know that all of the honoring of the dead is supposed to be packed into one special, ritualized day? Girded by speeches and wreaths and proclamations and taps, and not gummed up with a lot of hoo-ha about the "I"-word? Because while on every other day of the year, pointing out the cost of Iraq in blood and treasure is merely disloyal to the Dear Leader, on Memorial Day it is so much worse: It’s in bad taste.

It makes people uncomfortable.

It’s like the Flag.

As every loyal American knows, the function of a Flag is to provide a handy object over which you can gin up a fight with someone to question their patriotism. A totem onto which you can trowel a million ferocious words and resolutions and Constitutional Amendments to protect it from imaginary threat. A silver bullet to electorally slay liberal pedants who insist that Flag Burning Amendments are the worst sort of secular idolatry, and who whine that freedom itself is what you desecrate when you try to amend the Constitution to restrict speech and protect a symbol.

It is, however, most definitely NOT something to be shown in the Liberal Media respectfully draped over the coffins of fallen soldiers.

Why do they insist on Phelpsing our solemn, fleeting national mediation on the price of war by dragging the actual price of a particular war into it and waiving it in our solemn national faces?

Why do they trouble our Beautiful Minds with such filthy little facts?

Have they no decency at all?
