the Bush-era ban on Soldier's coffins with the Flag shown on television

Watching ABC news tonight, and they showed a pic of a soldiers coffin being taken off of a military plane. Wasn't there a ban in place on our news media showing soldier's coffins during the Bush administration?

And if so, has this ban been lifted? Further notes on bias that I saw: ABC news is showing how upset the soliders are at their current situation. Sadly, I don't recall our Mainstream News Media presenting stories showing upset soldiers during the Bush invasion of Iraq. The story ended with a song "we've got to get out of this place". Soldiers dying is serious business.

Our news media should present a balanced report no matter who is in the White House. The bias is tangible.

It was lifted, but only if the family consents...

It existed well before W was put into office. And yes, it has been lifted, but the family has to agree to allow the press on the airfield to photo the coffin.
