Ranting Profs - EMBEDDED
By Cori Dauber

One other thing that's changed in the last week: for the last year the military has been almost begging reporters to take available embed slots. Fox News has occasionally taken them up on it, and so have local outlets, in Iraq specifically to cover the hometown unit. But with a few exceptions that's been about it. Now that there's widespread fighting again, those slots seem to be going like hot cakes.

Will this improve the quality of reporting after this is over? No way to know.

Does it tell us something about the priorities of the media in Iraq? Sure. They really aren't that interested in the day-to-day activities of the US military unless they're engaged in open combat.
