I guess to sum it up
Reporter A(Yost) says the reporting from Iraq sucks.
Reporter B(Laszewski) uses reporter deaths to make it out he is on sacred ground, of course not doesn' answer any of the points. Just goes on an emotional tirade that Romenesko gets to post.
Reporter C and D(KR people) whine about their problems and use a guy's dead daughter to score points but still does not answer any of Reporter A's complaints.
and yes the reporting does suck from Iraq and KR does so on purpose.
Yup. . .all those 1,700 warrior deaths are from drowning in the hotel pool inside the Green Zone and NOT out on the streets, fighting a pig scat cowardly enemy. . .yup. . .those guys out on the line don't know what the heck they are talking about.
