WOUNDED CBS REPORTER KIMBERLY DOZIER TELLS CNN'S HOWARD KURTZ HOW CBS EXECS REACT TO WAR NEWS

Anyone who has been following this blog knows I have been blasting the mainstream media for months for the lack of coverage of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. The wars have literally dropped off the radar screen.

On Sunday, May 25, CBS war correspondent Kimberly Dozier, who was severely wounded in Iraq when a roadside bomb blew up the Humvee she was riding in killing her driver and two CBS News cameramen, went for a jog with CNN's Howard Kurtz, host of "Reliable Sources."

What came out of the interview was fascinating and informative. Dozier said the war has dropped off the news radar screen because when she would approach news executives with another story showing our brave young soldiers in combat in Iraq their eyes would glaze over.

The feeling Dozier expressed is the feeling Bill O'Reilly of Fox News once expressed when he said: "Once you've seen one roadside bombing or an IED going off it no longer becomes news. It is all so repetitive."

Here in part is the transcript from the Howard Kurtz interview with Kimberly Dozier:
