how soon the media forgets

This headline alone is a sad statement on the condition of modern journalism:

… but it should be obvious that the rest of the article provides an even better castigation of journalists and the blatant biases they are not even trying to hide any more.
I find myself surprised to say this, but at least the AP still values the sacrifices of our servicemen and women, apart from simply using their deaths as political tools.
