"Media want more photos of dead GIs."

In that case Our troops had better watch their backs. The media is no different from the vulture that said"Patience, HELL! I'm gonna kill something." We have no reason whatsoever to doubt that the MSM shares the buzzard's sentiments.

"Many photographers and editors believe they are delivering Americans an incomplete portrait of the violence that has killed 1,797 U.S. service members and their Western allies and wounded 12,516 Americans."

That's about the only thing they got right.

Michele McNally, New York Times director of photography, concurred, observing: "War kills men, women and children, and we would be remiss if we couldn't in some way show that this is what happens in war . . . It's our responsibility to bear witness to these events."

Bullshit.

Bill Mauldin, a CARTOONIST, for Pete's sake, didn't draw a single American soldier dead in his cartoons if I recall correctly.

But he managed to show the danger, difficulty, heroism and misery of the American soldiers who slogged their way through North Africa, Sicily, Italy, France and Germany.

Mauldin did his witnessing in the medium available to him, and in which he was superbly skilled. He showed the obvious weariness in the eyes of Willie and Joe, the impossibility of keeping dry in a foxhole in the rain, and so on.

If you want a challenge, Michele, go and do likewise. You don't have to show dead bodies.

More pictures of Dead Americans??

How about these!!

Mere words cannot erase these images.

And I dont hear the Arab or Muslim world apologizing to us for these acts, either, I hear them rejoicing over it!

Better yet, follow in the footsteps of a truly great journalist - Ernie Pyle.

You don't have the guts to do that, do you, Michele.

I think you're right. Look what we did to the Japanese. There would be the genteel people in this country who would cry in fear and whine for peace at any cost at the sight of dead young American. I like to think as you do that there is still that rough and ready streak in us that we won the frontier with.

I agree with you Daybreak. Those of us who were silent then (well, I was just a kid) will never be silent again and will always stand up for our troops, no matter what bs they want to try and have us believe. We're exposing them as much as we can, and their horrible propaganda, and we, thankfully, have the internet.

As the wife of a U.S. Marine and the daughter of a Vietnam KIA, (and a right wing journalist) I am so sickened by these jackals and their agenda. Just reading the article made my blood pressure rise...

Deirdre Sargent, whose husband was deployed to Iraq, recently complained to editors of the News Tribune of Tacoma, Wash., after the paper printed a photo of a dying GI that she said left her "shaking and in tears for hours."

"It was tacky, unprofessional and completely unnecessary," Sargent said.

MSNBC.com posted the same photo to their website, prompting complaints from the dying soldier's family.

Looks like the last time MSNBC will cross the screen in this household until they apologize.

Just read your about page and you are one special lady. May God always bless you.

It's forums like FR that let us know what the msm is up to before they do it now. Back then, it was a done deal and they just rolled it over us. I say never again and most especially this one. This one just set my hair on fire.

Yes, our short history as a country tells us we can be violent when called upon. We prefer peace, I think....but not in the sense and cost that the genteel whiners prefer.

This desire of the msm just cannot stand.
