As you say, mourning and blame can go on simultaneously. In this case, you can mourn the loss of the idea that the American media are, you know, pro-American even under a Republican administration, while blaming the reporters who seem to be working for an American defeat.

"If you lose something, you mourn the loss." I absolutely agree. We have lost an objective & unbiased media, or at least at one time, an attempt at one. It is now clearly gone. Western media too once held high aspirations to be objective & unbiased. They are now mostly liberal, biased & clearly have been against the war & rooting for failure in Iraq. Many people legitimately are mourning this serious loss. The same could be said about certain politicians in America today. We have a long history of bipartisan cooperation in times of war. There is little doubt that this genuine cooperation helped make those wars end much sooner than if there was open & hostile opposition (like Vietnam). There is no doubt that Iraq has resulted in some of the most sanctimonious partisan opposition in our history. Many people legitimately are mourning this serious loss of genuine bipartisan cooperation.
