Again - they are witnessing the suffering of their own people!! and this is NOT a war zone fighting an enemy.
Well then get some hardened reporters in there that go around the city and REPORT what is happening instead of wimpy reporters. I have seen reporters that reported on accidents that knew the people that were critically injured or killed and reported the facts. On the air you never would have known.
One of those reporters talked to my daughter who is in Journalism for over a half an hour about how important it is for a reporter to make sure they stay detached and report the story and NEVER become the story where everyone is talking about the reporter not the event.
If there is no enemy, what are the looters/rapists/shooters? Good buddies? Misunderstood victims?
