The question as to whether or not to warn the hypothetical American patrol was initially put to Peter Jennings. At first he said "yes" he would try to warn the Americans "even at the risk of his own life". But old Mike Wallace gave him a dressing-down in front of the panel by reminding Peter that "he was a journalist first, and an American second".

A few weeks ago a similar hypothetical was posed to Cal Thomas on Fox News Watch. It was about coming upon an accident. Cal said, 'well he'd probably check to see if any needed help and then start reporting/filming because a journalists job is to report the news, not render aid."

I hope I never come upon Cal in a car wreck. 'Sorry, Cal, I'd like to help you there, bud, but instead, I'm going to write this up so when the news crews get here. How bad does it hurt? Is this your camera? I'll film ya. Wow, that's allot of blood. Can you turn abit this way so I can get a better pic. Awwww gggeezz, Cal, quit your whinin' and beggin' for help. Journalism, first! Remember. Last time I stopped at an accident in this are, Cal, it only took the EMT's about 45 minutes to get here. These rural town EMT's aren't quite as fast as in the city. Cal Cal!!! you still breathin'? Hey, wake up."

I find that so hard to believe, that Cal Thomas essentially took the same stand that Jennings did--are you sure? Not arguing, just surprised if it's true.
