Frustrated -- how can we MAKE the media be honest about Iraq casualties?
The media is all over the place regarding U.S. casualties in Iraq. Some are only reporting what the Pentagon is referring to as combat casualties. Some are only quoting casualties since 5/1. Some are only quoting "hostile action" casualties since 5/1.
NONE are giving a true tally. In the AP story posted in LBN,they quote a casualty number of 50! It's 300! And why are they trusting what the Pentagon says about casualties?
It seems that the Reich-wing has won the "conventional wisdom" battle over how casualties are reported. Hell, they seem to be going in reverse. Are our guys popping back to life?
