We were just talking about the media's selective focus on another thread.
Isn't it strange how a guy like Ward Churchill can get the benefit of the doubt for over a year while his actions are investigated, and our troops get no grace period for an investigation whatsoever.
The focus on the other thread was Ann Coulter vs Ward Churchill, and which had actually said worse things about those close to the 09/11 tragedy. Churchill damned those who died. Coulter criticized a select few women for their actions. Who got skewerd?
The DM sinks further...

Steve Benson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Steve Benson is a Pulitzer Prize-winning U.S. editorial cartoonist for The Arizona Republic. Benson is the grandson of former U.S. Secretary of Agriculture and former LDS church president Ezra Taft Benson.
Benson's more controversial cartoons include one that depicts a firefighter carrying an child from the Oklahoma City bombing similar to a well-known photo of a firefighter's futile rescue of 1-year old Baylee Almon. The child in the cartoon says, "Please, no more killing..." to which the firefighter, labeled "Death Penalty Fanatics," replies, "Quit your whining!" The cartoon, published June 11, 1997, angered some firefighters nationwide. Almon's mother called for Benson to apologize for using the image. Benson, however, stood firm even as his paper issued an apology for printing the cartoon.
Late in 1993, Benson publicly left the LDS Church after claiming that its leadership was covering up his grandfather's senility and allowing church members to believe Ezra Taft Benson was still in charge of the church's day-to-day affairs. Benson self-identifies as an atheist and is often the target of those who advocate ultra-conservative anti-secular views.
