The link is to a Columbia University debate where Peter Jennings and Mike Wallace argue that their duty is to cover the news at the risk of the American troops they're embedded with.
Watch to the very end where a Marine officer talks about the journalists being in danger but he's expected to rescue them and put his men's lives in danger, but he will do it.
This is the crap we've been dealing with since the 1960's.

Yep, the same turncoats who demand that we not question their loyalty to Americans.

Peter Jennings wasn’t even an American, he was a Canadian.
I would say leftist traitor first, journalist next and American somewhere near the end of the list.
BTW Canadians and Mexicans are both North Americans.
Just a shame there isn’t a clip with better audio.
If I were a company commander, I’d make any journalist embedded in the company take point. That recalcitrant attitude is why I never made it past E-5. Bad boy. Bad boy.
I actually saw this when Ogletree first aired it. It was the breaking point with Mike Wallace. He had made me sick before, but this made me throw up a kidney.
Frags. Use them.
Jennings Canadian. My point too. If one of those guys got some of our soldiers killed and then came back here and was killed by a family member of a soldier killed, can you say Jury Nullification?
Peter Jennings was actually an American third.
(he was a Canadian second)
