President Bush lamented the deaths of 14 Marines in Iraq Wednesday, calling the deadly attack a "grim reminder" America is still at war.

Is this the most stupid thing he could say? It's because of Bush and his cronies that we NEED reminders. They black out the war in the media. We don't see casualty reports, or see caskets coming home, or even progress, just a lot of head-nodding and back-patting.

Actually, most major news networks are neutral when it comes to actual reporting. While most news commentators lean far right, the newscasts are on the right side of the middle. I guess that checkbook journalism worked out OK for Bush thus far...
