nakedemperor said:The death of the leader of Palestinians is news.
Honoring veterans, while a worthwhile endeavor, is not news.
Therefore, the News Media, whose primary job is to report the daily news, chose to cover one of the largest international news stories of the year on its front page rather than to cover veterans day; as moving and necessary human interest stories are, they rarely ever field front page articles. To indict the "mainstream media" for "honoring" Yassir Arafat (reporting his death and the much-anticipated travel of his body to Egypt = "honoring"??) isn't very realistic here. Imagine if Osama bin Laden were found dead somewhere. Would it be "honoring" him to cover the transportation of his dead body for verification?

krisy said:Since when does the media do their job correctly anyway. They put on whatever the f*** they think will get their best ratings. My question to them is: do you think the American people want to see a terrorists dead body flying all over in an airplane,or hear and see stories on veterans and present day service men and the huge sacrifice they make?
The media does a lot wrong allready with their bias and I believe this is just another mistake on top of many. If Janet Jackson's boob was a story,and MM movie was a story,I think our veterans (2 of which are my grandfather-WW2 and father in law-Vietnam,gaffer) are certainly a story. They fight so the LMM can have their say in which story they report. It SHOULD be headline news.
