Thank you all for your comments on this amazing woman.

Every time I tune in (just long enough to grab the remote and tune out) to one of the never-ending sagas of Anna Nicole Smith, Paris Hilton, or the like, I ask myself the (purely sarcastic and rhetorical) question, ‘Isn’t there something more worthwhile that the mainstream media (‘fair and balanced’ FoxNews included) could be reporting on?'

Haziah Hancock’s crusade is a striking example of an important, uplifting news story that the American public needs to hear. And yet the stories of the two women (and countless others) mentioned above take her place – women who have contributed absolutely nothing to this country and its citizens, and who wouldn’t know the meaning of patriotism, compassion or character if it smacked them in the face. Yet the media is bound and determined to install them as examples of modern American icons.

I would love to somehow corral all of the major media decision-makers, tie them each to a chair and ask them, ‘Why aren’t you covering the story of this woman and her amazing crusade? I’ll settle for ten percent of the coverage you are providing Paris Hilton.’ – and not unbind them until I receive a logical answer.

I have a sneaking suspicion they’d be in that chair for a very long time …

The ironic part is this: If these media types had a brain, they would know that such a personal story that vividly highlights the personal cost to the individuals who have paid the ultimate price in this war would tend towards making the American public much more sensitive to, and thoughtful about, the true costs of war. In other words, in some sense, it would help their anti-war cause.

However, they aren't willing to do it, because it also highlights the awesome patriotism of these heroic individuals, and telling their story runs the risk of opening people’s eyes to the fact that these are volunteers, men and women who made a conscious choice to serve, and who therefore made an extremely personal decision that liberty is worth defending, no matter the personal cost.

In other words, the Democrat Media isn't willing to take the chance that the American people, given full knowledge of what this war is all about, might decide after all that any price is worth paying, for the sake of our posterity, and the safety and security of America.

You covered their modus operandi from every logical perspective (including the wishful-thinking supposition, if they only had a brain ... )

A spot on analysis, as always!
