I understand solemnity in the face of the ravages of war. But I condemn those who go out of their way (whatever that may mean) to give only the bad news - they are giving aid and confort to the enemy. The balanced information should be available to the average person.
By the way, whatever happened to newspaper Sunday supplements with feel-good stories about good things being accomplished overseas? Even the traditionally liberal-leaning features (e.g. Peace Corps type stuff) are gone.
