"The difference now is how the deaths are handled in the media. Period."

Indeed. The U.S. loses over 3,000 Americans per *month* KIA...on our national highways (but you don't see news commentators reading their names off of a somber list each night).

And if a terrorist rams an oncoming car to kill a mother and her 4 kids, it's not even covered on the local news...but if that same terrorist kills a mom and her 4 kids with a bomb at a shopping mall or a sporting event, it would make *national* news for months.

More Americans die from accidents in our mines, factories, and hospitals each month than in Iraq and Afghanistan combat combined...yet the news media cares not for the deaths of those Americans in domestic accidents as it serves no political objective of theirs.
