The New York Times covered page after page with the names of those thousand dead. The television wing of the ghoul school did similar things in their broadcasts. The rationale for this is that they are "honoring" the dead troops and perhaps showing that the media, too, are patriotically "supporting our troops."

As this Thomas Sowell article points out - but not in these words - journalism's way of "honoring" our fallen is to use their deaths to denigrate the patriotism which had animated their lives.

The (nasty) Baltimore Sun has a major article about a wake, a funeral, or a grieving military family, on the front page of its "Maryland" section nearly every day, it seems.

I do not see the corresponding articles about our troops' successes anywhere in that paper!
