Why don't we get any war news?

When Bush was president, every day the TV showed us how many Americans were killed. Since

Obama is in the White House, we never see any thing about any killings. Are we all of a sudden having a clean war?

    I think it is the media trying to distance Obama from the war-- remember he promised to be out of there within 16 months of the election. There is no end in sight. The media does not want us to realize the war is still going on. It may point out that the election promise ( and the reason why many voted for him) was not kept.

    The media is incredibly biased. What in the world do they teach in journalism school.

    Actually, there was an article a few weeks ago (or month) about how soldier deaths surged since Obama's massive call of 30,000 troops be sent to Afghanistan. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100327/ap_on_re_as/as...

    I don't know what you're talking about. There is news on the war almost everyday all over the web and on tv; it's pretty hard to miss honestly. I read a story the other day of a military judge clearing a solider for punching some guy responsible for the death of 4 or 5 Americans in Afghanistan in 2004...Why did he get prosecuted in the first place? Well I don't know. But I do sense that you're just looking to spread the oh so typical ''it's the bias of the liberal media" thing we always hear.
