The general thesis was quite simple: the lamestream media are incompetent mainly because they do not report the CONTEXT of stories.

Well stated. Along the same lines see below thread:

World War II - over 900 U.S. Dead in Attack on Training Mission April 28, 1944
Facts about WWII ^ | before April 28, 2004 | unknown

Because of bad planning by American officers and mistakes by the Royal Navy, over 900 American troops were killed during 'Operation Tiger'. 'Tiger' was a practice exercise for D-Day held at Slapton Sands, England. In the early A.M. of April 28 1944, 7 LSTs packed with troops from the U.S. VII corps and escorted by only one outdated Corvette, were attacked by German E-Boats. By the time the shooting had stopped the E-Boats had retired without loss and 946 GIs were dead . . .

-------- MY COMMENT:

Sixty years ago today, over 900 brave Americans died in a single battle.

How would today's media react to that story if the President was a Republican when the tragedy occurred? And how would today's Democrats react?

The press has failed miserably in its duty to put current events in historical perspective.
