THE GIPPER OR D-DAY? This morning, FoxNews and CNN are focusing almost exclusively on the life of President Reagan, whereas MSNBC is talking mostly about the 60th anniversary of D-Day, with only intermittent Reagan coverage. I'm not sure which is the right call. The death of President Reagan is a major event, one that should indeed be covered by the media. At the same time, the 60th anniversary of D-Day is also a momentous occasion; it is likely the last major anniversary of the great battle that any substantial number of veterans will be around to celebrate. So it's a tough call. On balance, I think covering D-Day probably makes more sense. It's the more democratic choice: a commemoration, not of the life of one great man, but of the inestimable courage of thousands of ordinary men. Part of me suspects President Reagan would have thought so too.
