ABC Looking For Iraqi KIA Funeral To Broadcast Opposite Inauguration
2005-01-20
Via Captain Ed and Powerline
Well, sure. ABC wants to "balance" its coverage of President Bush's inauguration with coverage of a military funeral:

Jan. 19, 2005 — For a possible Inauguration Day story on ABC News, we are trying to find out if there any military funerals for Iraq war casualties scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 20. If you know of a funeral and whether the family might be willing to talk to ABC News, please fill out the form below:
Note that only the families of Iraqi war dead need apply. If a soldier died in Afghanistan, or aiding tsunami victims in Indonesia or Sri Lanka, or in a training exercise, never mind. That isn't the "balance" ABC is looking for.

Every time I think the MSM have stooped as low as they can go, they surprise me.

Captain Ed has a screen capture, good thing as ABC has now taken it down

#4  They managed to find a funeral of a Marine. A Marine that was proud of his service.

ABC is crossing the line during a time of war. No longer a respected news source they have become a shrill propoganda mill for the left.
