Anyone notice the bias here:

ABC said that at the time of the attack both men were in an Iraqi vehicle — considered less secure than U.S. military equipment

[Howlin]

It's even worse than that; they evidently were standing up outside on the back of the vehicle, in something described like the bed of a truck.

They were both wearing customized armor. The others in the vehicle were not injured, except for one Iraqi who hurt his fingers (I believe).

[SlowBoat407]

I believe the Iraqi vehicle was actually of Russian make. As for bias in the statement, I don't see it. It was an Iraqi vehicle, and it is indeed considered less secure than U.S. military equipment.

They chose that vehicle to get the reporting perspective.

[angkor]

The injection of that bias is expected. The MSM is also emphasizing that he was in the lead vehicle.

Obviously the next question the MSM will be raising is "Why did the Army make him get into that lead Iraqi vehicle." The subtexts are (a) the Army made him get up there and (b) the Army is supposed to protect a reporter's safety.

It'll be interesting to see whether they asked to get into the lead vehicle in order to get better footage.

The only bias is the amount of ink these guys get for scratches received because they CHOSE to go along. I wish the same press was given to the heroes of this war...

Note this baptismal font...

[SIRTRIS]

Why is this story getting so much more traction?

[newconhere]

I hate to be cynical but lately I cant help it. Mr. Woodruff is a seen as a hero.... 24/7 coverage of the brave and courageous duties these reporters have. YUCK. I wish our soliders got there due time, instead they are seen as "war criminals", etc. We live in bizzaro world.

Bob Woodruff, I didn't find a photo of the cameraman.

[Al Gator]

This whole thing may be a blessing.

Since these two have taken over from that idiot Jennings, I have noticed a very minor, but perceptible shift in ABC news. Just a little, and hard to pinpoint.

This guy is either going to become a total anti military bad mouth (which I doubt) or he is going to have a really hard time listening to likes of Benedict Murtha spouting off how our military is a dung heap.

Anyone wanna take bets?

And what will all this do to his reporting viewpoint?

A new conservative is just a liberal who got mugged.

"ABC Anchor, Cameraman at German Hospital"

If they both work at ABC, why didn't they take them to 'General Hospital'?

{ba-ba-bum!}

[dennisw]

anchor Bob Woodruff and a cameraman had been seriously injured by a roadside bomb while reporting in Iraq.

Woodruff, the new co-anchor of "World News Tonight," and Doug Vogt......

I've never seen them on TV. I have no bad thoughts about them so I hope they get fully healed, with the help of the Author of our universe. The main story to me is that when everything turns to shit look who took care of these two guys. Our military hospitals and the wonderful people working there. Who evacuated them to an Iraqi hospital and then to our very fine military hospital in Germany? Has to be military transport with ABC paying for it

[elli1]

Anyone notice the bias

Nope. Looked like a statement of fact to me.

[Jedidah]

It's a real stretch to find bias in that statement.

[Yo-Yo]

The real bias is that nobody in the MSM is emphasizing that the "insurgency" attacked an IRAQI convoy. As the Iraqi Army stands up, we are standing down.

This unfortunate incident only goes to prove that the insurgents are not interested in getting the Americans out of Iraq, they are interested in defeating the elected Iraqi government as well.

[wtc911]

Please describe what is biased about this.

"Bob and Doug were in Iraq ..."
