Harkens back to when the media were whinning about being banned from the repat ceremonies because they cared so much.
From my blog, Robbs Rants (http://www.rmacqueen.blogspot.com/)
We should be ashamed!
Corporal Anthony Boneca gave his life in the service of this country and all certain members of the media care about are some emails he sent. Headlines like “Slain soldier felt `misled'” and “Reservist was disillusioned with military” were plastered all over the place.
This is not the time!
At a time when his family should be left alone to mourn their loss, members of the media are acting like a pack of slavering dogs with the scent of controversy filling the air. Tripping over themselves to get the scoop, they have shown little consideration for the fact a man has died.
The media have managed to paint this soldier as a whiner, an image that will probably stick to his memory for years to come. And, at the time his family should be left alone to plan for his funeral, his father is forced to come out and defend his only son.
They should all be ashamed - and we should too. We have enabled the media by buying into this feeding frenzy instead of turning our backs on this circus and behaving like decent human beings.
We should be ashamed!
