Here is how the media would cover D-Day today

John Carlson at the King County Journal

Every day I receive letters from soldiers in Iraq reporting many, many positive things that people don't hear about because the national news media only seems to spotlight what's going wrong. Contrast that with the commemoration last week of the 60th anniversary of the invasion of Normandy to drive fascism from Europe. I wonder how the media would cover D-Day if it happened today instead of six decades ago. Probably something like this....

Carlson goes on to give an interesting take on what certain public figures would say if the D-Day invasion took place today. The medias focus on what went wrong instead of looking at what went right is the biggest difference between the media during WW2 and today. I wonder what would have to happen for the US media to act like they are Americans first and reporters second instead of reporters first and Americans second? A terrorist attack on the NY Times building? The terrorist capturing a number of reporters and executing them on film? I hope not but am curious what if anything would tip the scales.
