Comparing the Media on Iraq and VA Tech

Check out Larry C. Johnson's piece, a reminder of the difference in how various things are treated by the media.

The people of Iraq are living in a Marquis de Sade version of Groundhog Day. It is like the Bill Murray movie--the same horrible day repeated with some new, bizarre twists--only not funny. Multiple body counts and explosions and shootings are the daily experience of the people of Iraq. They have been living this hell for four years. Just keep that fact in mind as you mourn the deaths of 22 American students slain in Blacksburg, Viginia.

Lest you think Johnson cares not for those who have died in Blacksburg, I don't think that is the case. Of course, VA Tech is a lot closer to home, and quite tragic, but numerically, a drop in bucket compared to Iraq.
