What's "Really" Important News?

What's "Really" Important?  The big-media are working their fingers to the bone, arguing about another dead rich entertainer.  They are also beating to death what one of their brother big-media hacks has said about some subject or other.  Don't worry about who said what, next week another one of the talking heads will also stick their foot in their own mouth and have their colleagues beat their words to death.  They have all in affect, become the news by self anointing, rather than the finders and couriers of the news.  

So what is Cool Dadio Media think is important?  (1) We know that at least 3,292 American soldiers have died in Iraq since their mission started there in Spring 2003.  (2) We are now starting year five of our war there in Iraq.  (3) We here in Wisconsin have had at least 70 of our military service people killed in Iraq since the Spring of 2003.  (4) And, since Cool Dadio Media is a small outfit, its media battles should be fought carefully, so Wisconsin's soldiers are the focus.  

Each day no matter what big-media idiot has foisted themselves into the news with some alleged compelling deed, or what dead rich entertainer we are instructed by the big-media to feel compassion for, Cool Dadio Media will note the number of American soldiers killed in Iraq.  As well, once a week,  Cool Dadio Media will take a second of time and a line or two and mention one of Wisconsin's soldiers who has given the ultimate price to society.  

This week's Wisconsin soldier to remember is Kirk Straseskie of Beaver Dam, and a sergeant with the B Company Marines.  He died while participating in the rescue of the crew of a CH-46 Sea Knight helicopter that crashed in a canal near Hilla, Iraq, on May 19, 2003.  Kirk was 23 years old.
