Why Does Faux News Hate Our Soldiers Who Make the Ultimate Sacrifice?
From Atrios:
Apparently Fox News has just said "aw, fuck it" when it comes to covering the deaths of American soldiers. They stopped updating their fatality list almost a month ago.Any facts that are inconvenient or unpopular are simply forgotten.
Remember the huge-o stink the right raised last year when Ted Koppel spent Memorial Day reading the names of those who died in Iraq? Any mention that men and women are dying unnecessarily is considered traitor-speak, against-people-of-faith rhetoric against the president instead of a rather blatant fact of war, especially one ill-conceived, and where the soldiers are overfunded while the Dept of Defense takes in more money every year than all other government programs rolled together.
