death on battle field vs death on highways

why is death in iraq important to media and 40 thousand plus die for no reason on us highways 40% due to drunk drivers with few spots of any effect against new one more comedy than message show victims children familys etc

because interesting media sells, some drunk on a road doesn't unless they took a few other people with them

If the liberal media could blame Bush for the auto deaths it would be covered 24 hours a day.

yeah its all down to blame - the media have someone well known and accountable to blame for the Iraqi deaths, they don't have the same for the auto deaths

what makes better headlines? war or road kill?
