Fair Coverage?

US Deaths in Afghanistan: Obama vs Bush. Click here to learn more. President Obama spoke last night of "an America where everyone has a fair shot, everyone does his or her fair share, and there are no separate rules for Wall Street or the privileged."

He also bragged a bit about his Military record. Which got me to thinking... fairness? No separate rules for the privileged? Hmmm... When is the last time you heard a report in the news about how many Americans have lost their lives in Iraq or Afghanistan? It was probably 2008 or so, because the media doesn't seem interested in reporting it now that their guy is Commander in Chief.

Remember when George W. Bush was President? The media would tell you every single day how many lives had been lost. They used these numbers to slander G.W. Bush. So why aren't they talking about it now? Are they suddenly in favor of war?

The truth is that they know that reporting the hundreds of American Military casualties under Obama's Presidency would make him look bad and they are in his back pocket.

Am I wrong?
