Imagine a world where JOURNALISTS would actually REPORT the news from the front. Imagine...b/c it's certainly not the world we live in today.

Thanks for posting this. I learned more from reading it than I have from a month of news from Media, Inc.

But, but...what about the prison scandal??? Isn't that what's important???

Journalists do report the news from the front. They're just on the wrong side of the front: with the terrorists, although they don't like to admit it publicly. So they only report the terrorists' victories. Why else do they seem to be on the spot of every car bomb or rocket-propelled grenade or other attack on Americans or Iraqis within minutes?

If the terrorists fail, then there is no news to report.

Journalists don't like to go where they'd be killed, so few bothered to report that Moqtada al-Sadr got defeated.
