... all we get is the gi who got killed today... It's just part of the Media process. They always lead with "Fuzz and Was." Police and bodies. That's what sells the soap. I took a course on the Media years ago that was based on the Axiom that: "News is what the Publisher wants to advertise." They "advertise" the news to get you to listen, read, or see the advertising they get paid for. So they lead with what interests most people the most. And that is dead people, and how it happened.
