Unlike the 2,000-Death Count in Iraq, ABC, NBC, PBS, MSNBC Skip 2,000 Marker in Afghanistan

On June 13, the CBS Evening News devoted a story by David Martin to the Afghanistan death count reaching 2,000, as Martin interviewed a mother of a fallen Marine. CBS was alone. There was no story last week on the Afghanistan death “milestone” on ABC, NBC, the PBS NewsHour – or even on the MSNBC programs found in Nexis, including Rachel “Our Military’s In a Perilous Drift” Maddow.
But the networks were all more aggressive when the 2,000 mark arrived in Iraq on October 25, 2005. The Big Three networks devoted 14 morning and evening news stories to the death toll from October 24 through the end of October, and another 24 anchor briefs or mentions. They used the number to spell “disaster for this White House.”

Can you please explain why a picture of chickens accompanies this post? I’m trying hard not to jump to conclusions
It’s Bush’s fault
#1, The chickens are coming home to roost. Or they are crossing the road.
Maybe they are all Chickens “of the Sea”, representing the 2,000 American soldiers who now sleep with the fishes.
There could be multiple meanings. There are 7 brown ones and one light one, which could represent the G7 nations and Afghanistan. Maybe it is a biblical reference to the Seven Headed Beast and the Pale Chicken of the Apocalypse.
Only PJ knows for sure, and he isn’t tellmg.
