1987 Mike Wallace and Peter Jennings profess that they are journalists first and Americans second - they would lie in wait and film the carnage if they had advance word of an impending attack on US forces by the enemy
youtube:Jennings & Wallace, reporters first, Americans second
I saw that when it first aired back in 1987. The Marine colonel’s response was classic!
Remember the CNN’s Bernard Shaw and correspondents John Holliman and Peter Arnett in Baghdad who refused to tell US forces what they saw in the opening days of the gulf war.
