Just when you don't think the media can sink lower and be more hypocritical, they actually take a shovel and dig themselves a deeper hole. How do these people look in the mirror without seeing how absolutely morally bankrupt they are? Well, they are liberals after all.
Tim Graham of the Media Research Center notes that CBS News was alone among media outlets when on June 13 it did a story on the number of NATO, and largely American, deaths in Afghanistan reaching the 2,000 mark
. Included was an interview by reporter David Martin with the mother of a fallen Marine.
There was no coverage on ABC, NBC, PBS or MSNBC, unlike the media storm that erupted over the 2,000th death in Iraq.
"When the 2,000 mark arrived in Iraq on Oct. 25, 2005," Graham notes, "the Big Three networks devoted 14 morning and evening news stories to the death toll from Oct. 24 through the end of October, and another 24 anchor briefs or mentions."
An ABC that was silent on the Afghan milestone reported five stories and eight other briefs or mentions on the 2,000 count in Iraq. The Iraq milestone prompted a special edition of "Nightline."
"Good Morning America" anchor Diane Sawyer began on Oct. 26, 2005: "This morning, a somber milestone. Another American dies in the war in Iraq. We have now lost 2,000 sons and daughters."
Also ignored by the media is the fact that some 70% of these casualties in the Afghan War have occurred on President Obama's watch. As CNSnews.com reports, he has presided over the top five deadliest months of the war, a fact you'll find in no other report on the conflict.
These include: August 2011, with 71 deaths; July 2010, with 65 deaths; June 2010, with 60 deaths; October 2009, with 58 deaths; and August 2010, with 55 deaths.
