Media Coverage

Isn't it a sad state of affairs when the media goes crazy over the death of actor Heath Ledger. While a sad story, there is so many more important things going on that deserve coverage.

How about those who sacrifice for our country? Leaving behind family and friends to worry and wait for their return. Some making the ultimate sacrifice. Where are THEIR stories? It is a rare thing for the media to spend ANY time on these individuals. Here is a link to a story about Sgt Dozier. His family has given back to this country since the Civil War! He was killed in Iraq in early January. Read his story:

What about the March for Life? Where was the media coverage of this event? People speaking out for the 40-45 MILLION lives aborted since the passage of Roe v Wade. Not much at all actually. The passing of a hollywood actor was 'breaking news' all night long.

Just another sign of the world we live in. It doesn't diminish Mr. Ledger's passing, it is a terrible thing for anyone so young to pass away. But there many stories of sacrifice and REAL service that go unreported. These are the stories that need to be told.
