The shockwaves emanating from the whole "embedded reporters" experiment are still echoing throughout the insular world of journalism. They came to see things through the grunt's viewpoint--which would be a good thing, except they started seeing things exclusively that way--which is very bad for a journalist. Maybe they will take a minute to think about how strong an effect the embedding had on them--and how they are effected by similar things on the domestic side. How they are "embedded" in the teachers unions' rectums, how enjoying access to certain politicians can make them more favorably disposed to those same politicians and effect their writing (like Dubya before the election), how they more often "embed" themselves in their imaginations in the role of environmental crusader instead of businessman--and how that slants their writing. But I doubt they will learn much from this, except "embedding with the US military is bad, because we write pro-US stories."

Embedding was the most brilliant idea to come out of any administration...EVER!
Torie Clark is a GENIUS!!!
After the never-ending complaining and kvetching about "No Press Access" in the past couple of wars, I absolutely love reading these stories of "conflict" and struggle because every one of these reporters absolutely fell in love with the military.
I can't wait for the first cafeteria brawl when some smug lefty puts down the military or the war to one of these guys.

As part of a first-ever war correspondents' partnership between the Department of Defense and media organizations, we reporters signed contracts limiting what we would say and when we would say it. In return, for the duration of the conflict the Pentagon let us eat, sleep, travel - and sometimes die - with the military forces we covered. (More than a dozen journalists died in combat.)
Note to reporter, look up Pyle Ernie and WW II.

If these guys are so worried about "objectivity," why didn't a bunch of them get embedded with the Republican Guard units?

Most people who have been embedded, regret it in the morning.
