Move Along, No Bias To See Here

The Philly Inquirer claims no bias in covering the war in Iraq, then why is the cover of today's Memorial Day edition anti-war? This article carries the headline 'I Cry Every Morning' with sub-headline (not in the online edition) 'Painful memories have yet to fade for families of those lost in Iraq' (emphasis mine).

Why, do just the families of those killed in Iraq grieve? Why did it not say families of those lost in the War on Terror? What about Afghanistan, the USS Cole, the Khobar Towers, the embassy in Beirut, and so on.

Isn't Memorial Day for those who've died in all wars the US has fought? I thought so. The Inquirer never fails to politicize a holiday or event to make to war seem unwinnable and hence, bad for President Bush.

It's a shame, in the same week the country presented the WWII Memorial to it's surviving members who pulled together to win that war, they are simultaneously attempting to rip the country apart on Iraq. More Americans died in NY on 9/11 than at Pearl Harbor. Think about that and pray for the families of dying soldiers in ALL wars.
