CNN, like every other news organization, is reporting that two CBS employees were killed and one injured when the military convoy in which they were embedded was hit with an IED:

CBS said cameraman Paul Douglas, 48, and sound tech James Brolan, 42, were killed in the blast. Both were British and based in London, the network said.

The U.S. military said a U.S. soldier and an Iraqi contractor also were killed in the attack on their convoy.

Six U.S. soldiers and CBS correspondent Kimberly Dozier were wounded in the attack, the military said.

As of noon PDT, this was CNN‘s top story, and had been for hours. What was just the latest in a never ending string of IED blasts became news because white civilians were among the victims. Think I’m irresponsibly accusing CNN of racism? Really?

Rosemary Church, CNN anchor : Ryan Chilcote joins us now from Baghdad with more.

And Ryan, we will talk in just a moment on that U.S. news crew, but, of course, many lives lost today, this violent day in Baghdad.

Ryan Chilcote, CNN correspondent : That’s right. It has been an exceptionally violent day in Iraq. At least 43 Iraqis killed around the country, at least 71 Iraqis wounded. All of that in attacks, dozens of attacks around the country since dawn.
[...]
Church: Ryan, we mentioned that American news crew. It does — it does put a human face on this conflict, doesn’t it? What information do you have on that incident?

Chilcote: Sure. What we know at this point is that took place as a result of one of the more recent bombings.

Three-plus years into the Iraq war, and now it has a human face.
