Well, that's simple, silly...it is right to do it in a GWB campaign ad because someone thought it would help him somehow. If we just saw it as news, someone might put a negative spin on it, and that wouldn't help him at all. This way, it is spoon-fed to us in a healthy, moral context which is deemed to be suitable for our fragile minds and morals to digest.

Summary: Flag-draped coffins in GWB campaign commercial = GOOD.

Flag-draped coffin on news programs that GWB does not control = BAD
