"So you're against "embedded" journalism, considering that no journalist would be crazy enough to "embed" themselves with the losing side?" Wiggle, wiggle. Squirm, squirm. Change the topic quick...

"So you're against "embedded" journalism" Yes, I am. It turns the press into a propaganda organ.

Bentway, > Apparently you've forgotten all the "embedded" reporters breathlessly cheerleading our invading troops. Not independently reporting both sides of the conflict. So you're against "embedded" journalism, considering that no journalist would be crazy enough to "embed" themselves with the losing side? I, for one, am against embedded journalists. Journalism is a member of the 5th estate......how does it stay objective when its embedded? The quick answer is it doesn't. The American media sold us out on the Iraqi war because of its love affair with Bush and all things neo. It was sickening to watch.....that's when I started to read the British press.
