A friend living deep in the socialist trenches of France recently pegged me with the question "well if the media is so liberal why aren't they showing pictures of the body bags in Iraq." I replied with a picture from the FoxNews.com home page which showed a seriously injured young girl with her father at her bedside. I offered to PhotoShop a body bag into the picture if that would help... What I failed to do that day was to copy what was simultaneously on the CNN.com home page; my recollection now, several days later, is that it was something like why Benedict chose that name, and later in the day just a picture of an empty Iraqi street. Today, the front page of FoxNews.com is that of a very small child being cradled in the arms of a US soldier, with the caption: "GI comforts a child fatally wounded in a car bombing." My heart aches for this child and his/her family, for the GI there offering the only thing he can—his loving arms. My heart breaks over the fact that someone, a homicide bomber, could and would tear apart precious life limb by limb in this way. Ultimately, it’s to no significant end, either; the line in the sand in Israel has moved what is symbolically just a few inches. If this method was at all effective, Palestine would control the entire middle east, for all the bloodshed caused by their homicide bombers. On the cover of today's CNN.com home page is simply a dour picture of Lynndie England (oh the irony and the humanity). There is a blurb and its corresponding link to a news report on the carnage in Iraq today, but certainly photos. What does this say to me? CNN can't bear to publish these photos or to speak candidly about the carnage because they'd lend credence to the fact that these homicide bombers--not the United States, not Great Britain, not the average freedom-seeking Iraqi, but homicide bombers--are responsible for the death, destruction, and misery in this budding new country (and elsewhere). If the LEFTIST media had any stomach at all for the truth, they would widely publicize the murders. They'd have the guts to show what destruction they wreak on the world without pillow-soft euphemisms such as "the opposition" or "Islamic freedom fighters." MWB Note: I'll gladly email you the two photos, dowloaded within a minute of each other from the respective home pages of FoxNews.com and CNN.com.
