Is it liberal media bias when news programs show the names of the soldiers that died?
What about when they do programs about the injured amputee soldiers in military hospitals?
Is that "liberal media bias"?
Should we hide the cost of the war from the American people for the sake of "morale"?
Is it unAmerican to show the cost of war as it is?

Bias? What's bias about telling the truth? The supporters of this war prefer to underplay the atrocities in Iraq. It's the see-no-evil philosophy. Suppressing the blood and guts and death toll, dehumanizes the war and disconnects Americans from the harsh reality. To report what's really happening in Iraq is responsible journalism.

no longer a liberal, yet I agree that each one media is biased one way or yet another. no be counted how not hassle-free a reporter would attempt to positioned around the documents in a fashion thoroughly free of own biases, no one is going to achieve success one hundred% of the time. There are liberal commentators who're biased, Keith Olbermann operating example. in spite of the undeniable fact that the unfairness from statement shows jointly consisting of his did not seem to bleed into the real information coverage on MSNBC. i imagine the excellence is that Fox is deliberately biased and has a political time table which is not basically constrained to their opinion statement classes like Beck or O'Reilly, yet also a techniques too many times looks in programming which costs itself as instantly information.

It would only be considered biased if key points of your agenda includes lying to the people and hiding the truth from the people.

It is liberal biased because they are showing these images in order to criticize Bush's decision to take us to war. Like Cindy Sheehan, they are using fallen Americans as a propaganda tool.
People die everyday. Can you imagine if the media decided to go into poor, minority neighborhoods and do a story on all the people killed there, or do a story on people killed by minorities??? There would be an outcry.

It's to honor the men and woman who sacrificed their lives you whacko. I'm glad they do it, it's a wake up call to Americans that we do have many men and women fighting over there for us. I don't like the war, but I support every brave person over there risking their lives for something they believe in.

I don't think the correct word is "bias" but I am not sure on what it should be.
Do they do it to incite the uneducated people? Yes.
Do they do it to promote a liberal agenda? Yes.
Do they do it to deride our president? Yes.
Do they do it for sensationalism? Yes.
Do they do it for ratings? Yes.
Do they do it to promote mainstream American values? No.
Do they do it to promote American values overseas? No.
Do they do it to protect American Servicemen & women? No.
Does doing it provide aid and comfort to those who hate us? Yes.
You tell me, what is the right word?

Absolutely not althought right-wingers will tell you that you are Un-American, nothing could be further from the truth.

it is definitely not bias. It is honoring the troops and the families who have lost family members.

No, it is a sign of respect and honour. Does FOX show the same respect to our fallen heroes?
