Question Too much media coverage?

Does anyone else think that we have WAY TOO much coverage of the "events" over in Iraq? I don't mean to say that we shouldn't be informed about major events, but with the blitz oof media coverage, it seems that the reporters are disclosing way too much personal information. How would you like to hear on the evening news that a family member was captured, injured or killed? The media almost appears to view the war a "sweeps week" event, where each station/reporter is trying to outdo each other to get their "scoop". Alot of the information that's being reported should, in my opinion, be delayed because they're military matters, not a cilvilian ones. Now don't get me wrong, I beleive in freedom of speech, but what about responsibility, integrity, respect or comon sense? What do you think?
