U.S. Embassy in Baghdad Hit; Two Killed>>> The MSM has already gone too far with headlines like that that imply only failure in our mission to Iraq,and in lack of security for the elections. IMO ways will be found to change that, if only by FOX or by bloggers that point out the the lack of balance by the Press which causes mistrust and rightfully drives away their audiences. Their days are numbered. Does this report from Iraq imply that if any murders or unexplained deaths occur here the day before a Presidential election in the US that people should stay home because it may be too dangerous to vote. ? Does it imply that we dont have enough police or that they are doing a miserable job and we should change things? If someone blows up an abortion clinic should we not vote our choice on abortion laws? Murders happen every day, so why is one occurring the day before an election suddenly become headline news? Reports like the one discussed would be more properly placed in the obituary column of a daily newspaper, the columns that often cover two or more pages of deceased. Along with notations of lifelong accomplishments of people who did not die in vain regardless of their cause. Unless there is something unique about a mortar shot in Iraq , and there is nothing at all unique or useful about that headline except implications of failure. Sig
