It’s come to this. A US Congressman, Jim Marshall, Democrat from Georgia’s 3rd District, says media bias is responsible for US troop deaths in Iraq.

Blumberg’s] death … We may need a few credible Baghdad Bobs to undo the harm done by our media. I’m afraid it is killing our troops.”

It really doesn’t get much lower than that.
