Any mention of the 5 U.S. soldiers killed yesterday?

I'd be curious if these episodes of radicals in protest ever made it on CNN NBC Ect.
In the ones I viewed there were certainly more than 15--and that aside if you have the many of the other protesters cheering and letting it happen they are no better. Of course without putting up the names of the organizers for the 4th time--when organizers are radicals you know what to expect.

Heres a report you won't see either on liberal media--if I wrong someone please post thread of source-- and there is a lot more to this than short description reveals-- How many of these front page lies --page 30 or what ever retractions from the NYT do we have to have until even the Moderate Dems turn on them.

False Story

The New York Times Magazine published a false story on March 18 about a woman who claimed to have sustained a brain injury during military service in Iraq and to have been raped twice while in the Navy.

But the Navy says it warned the magazine that Amorita Randall may not have even been in Iraq ? before the story was printed ? a warning the Times disputes.

The Navy says it established that the woman had never been in Iraq on March 12 ? six days before the story's Sunday release.

The Times could have pulled the magazine, which had been printed, or at least put a correction in the news section of the paper. It could have changed the online version of the article. It did none of those things. Instead readers had to wait until yesterday ? a full week after the story came out ? to learn the truth.

The magazine wrote: "It is now clear that Ms. Randall did not serve in Iraq, but may have become convinced she did. If the Times had learned these facts before publication, it would not have included Ms. Randall in the article."

Wow, that's three different threads (that I've seen so far) that Wayne has posted that story in. Copy, paste. Media bad. Copy, paste. Media bad. Copy, paste. Media bad. The beat goes on...

I do find it interesting that weasel - and I know Wayne feels the same way - says that showing our troops being downed by snipers and hauled off in body bags is demoralizing for the troops. Too bad they have to be there to watch their friends and fellow soldiers get picked off in the first place. I'm guessing that is a little more demoralizing than press and tv stories that most probably don't even see, but that's just me.
