Yesterday I posted that it would take no time before some stuffed-shirt, tight-reared liberal MSM-type person would scold us all for cheering the death of Beheader-in-Chief Zarqawi. It’s happened obliquely for 36 hours but The Baltimore Sun has taken the cake with this idiotic editorial (linking to secondary source since registration required at Baltimore Sun site):
As happened with the capture of Saddam Hussein and the “shock and awe” bombing of Baghdad, some American news organizations yesterday covered the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi with marked enthusiasm, verging on inappropriate glee.
Perhaps the tone was set by the cheering and sustained applause by Iraqis at the Baghdad news conference announcing al-Zarqawi’s death. But American television didn’t have to follow that gung-ho lead to the extent that some channels did throughout the day.
