excelent point , i forget because i read numerous sources every day , i see the stories of the other troops returning home or being killed , i see the protests in england and get mad , i see the returning dead and feel sad , you are so correct , our media sucks - they are not journalists or they would seek out all the stories they could [thats what good ones do/did]
as you well know i have no love lost for those that proport to inform us , they write oppinion pieces most of the time , they fail to report "ALL" of the facts to important stories let alone cover any sideline story ,
i think they all dream of being woodward & bernstein but not one realises how much work that would take ,
i could do this if i were younger - and not so opinionated - and could stomach some of what i might have to do ,
done correctly - this would be a very difficult , dangerous , and exciting job , but our news has degenerated to the body counts of the 60s and a total lack of substance ,
OK - i hate the MSM and have absolutely no respect for reporters ...................................rant off
