Keith Olbermann invokes the honored dead to castigate Laura Ingraham's indignancy at the media's incompetence and bias in their Iraq reportage.

"OLBERMANN: A note about Laura Ingraham’s comments: I’ve known her for a long time. I’ll in fact give you the caveat that I’ve known her socially. But that hotel balcony crack was unforgivable. It was unforgivable to the memory of David Bloom, it was unforgivable in the consideration of Bob Woodruff and Doug Voigt, it was unforgivable in the light of what happened to Michael Kelly and what happened to Michael Weiskopf. It was unforgivable with Jill Carroll still a hostage in Iraq. It’s not only unforgivable, it was desperate and it"

Nobody watches Olbermann, but he is a useful representation of the arrogance of the elite media and their state of denial.

The American people don't expect reporters to lay down their lives for NBC, but then they shouldn't pretend that they are reporting the reality in Iraq either. The point of Ingraham's remarks wasn't that reporters are cowards, but that they are frauds.
