I liked David Bloom and I am very sorry that he died during this war. However, I think it appalling that the media wears black and openly mourns a journalist that was killed, but for the most part (this article is an exception) does not dwell on the emotional toll caused by a soldier's death.

The media clearly feels that the loss of a journalist is a major loss for us all -- but the loss of Pfc. Piestewa is merely good for a human interest story on a slow news day.

That's an excellent point you make. These lib journalists are so full of self-importance (such as when journalist interview each other).

I keep hearing the media report that these reporters volunteered ..... and are heros. Although David Bloom was the only reporter on the today show I liked and am sorry he died, he was not killed and.... These reporters have been ASSIGNED to the war and are paid probably a 100 times more than our men and women risking their lives to free Iraq. T
