Love and Death on the Today show

The Today show had an interview with the family of a young woman who was killed in Iraq. There are two more sisters also in the military who have to decide whether or not to go back. Because I also listen to right wing talk radio just to balance things out politically, I wonder if there is a left wing bias to the national media when I see such interviews. Is there an agenda in these interviews? Are they attempts to galvanize public opinion against the war or are they sincere attempts to see the war objectively from the eyes of those most tragically affected by it? I do not watch Fox news regularly because I can't stand the personalities and because the right wing bias is so blatant, but I don't think they do interviews like this. Would that be because they see NBC doing them and peg them as left wing propaganda and don't want to be a part of it? Do they feel that the real cost of war is something that while tragic, is something that we must pause to remember but not allow to weaken our national resolve. I suspect the latter. Love and Death fill our senses every day. All our actions spring from these two sources. All my questions come from the place where these two meet. Where is the truth? Is the death of this woman a terrible tragedy that should make us all contact our congress person and demand an end to U.S. involvement in this war? Is the death of this woman a terrible tragedy that should make us all contact our congress person and demand more troops to put the screws to those evil bastards who perpetrate such violence? Is the death of this woman a senseless tragedy that implicates us all as sinners in need of true repentence? Is the death of this woman the act of a true patriot and hero defending with her life the freedom that we all enjoy and take for granted? Is gender involved in making this a national story? Will there not be a movie made about this because she was not as beautiful as Jessica Lynch?Where do you stand?
