You think? I think this paragraph rings loud and true (if maybe not the whole truth):
"War opinion has eroded based, in large part, on local coverage of local boys and girls killed in the conflict. Every such death is a week's worth of coverage -- report the death, interview teachers, friends, the parents, cover community efforts to make sense of the tragedy, cover the funeral. Such coverage is heart-wrenching, and while it flies under the radar of the national media, it's brutally immediate. That's why the national mood on Iraq has turned sour despite the cheerleading by the vast majority of national media and political figures."
