Bob Woodward and photographer injured in IED attack.
What was stupid and naive? That an American News corporation was gathering news for American consumption?
The contract for treatment was in place before they were imbedded. Either ABC or the insurance company will pay for it. Down to every ml of fluid, and the last APC.
You could have said that to begin with. Now get lost.
The ploy or campaign was that the anchors were not anchored -- I think they even used that phrase in the commercials.
Surely not to get them injured?
No. And if that is what you thought, you are very strange. Perhaps your conspiracy ideas are true and the producers are very depraved and did have this in mind. I implied nothing about that and it is your idea, not mine.
The point was look what happened to this fellow in large part due to the whims of the producers and marketers. There's no reason an anchor has to be near danger or the like.
Stupid?
You don't know my good, longtime friend, Leadpenny.
He isn't stupid, far from it.
I am going to go out on a limb and guess that your comment didn't imply that Woodruff was in Iraq and was intentionally hit with and IED as a result of a Marketing Ploy.
It was. However, that doesn't mean we should act like the DU and celebrate.
Don't people here often complain about stories that highlight troop tragedies? I agree with you, btw, but the place the go to hear about military casualties are liberal sites like Juan Cole (ick!).
Do you then think that all the reporters who were imbeds from the beginning of this war shouldn't have been allowed in country to begin with?
I want a complete list of names.
"Do you now or have you ever worked for ABC News?"
I never implied that at all.
There is something wrong with you to think that. Mainly ignorance and stupidity.
Better, how?
There's a difference between celebration and dissemination on information that ABC's motives for Woodruff's last minute trip to Iraq for the SOTU were not in our country's best interest.
Do you speak in monotones.
Me? No, just CNN & NBC.
This really is a very serious question here.
Did you know that there have been reporters on the gound in Iraq since the beginning ???
How is this one considered a Marketing ploy?
I troubled there could even be a self respecting Republican that would even be amazed with no sympathy for a member of the demagogic, fear-mongering, treasonous and useless idiot MSM.
Phew! I thought we might have to haul you in.
Sorry I meant "Useful idiots"
