I just mentioned that show to my wife after reading this earlier this morning. Yes, I remember the show, I think it was on PBS. The journalist actually said something to the effect that he wouldn't warn the US troops because he was a journalist and not an American soldier.

Later in the discussion, a former Marine lieutenant (who was in Vietnam) was asked if he was evacuating an area by helicopter (ahead of the enemy overrunning the LZ) and saw some US journalists coming, would he hold the helicopter for them. His answer was that he wouldn't wait because he didn't see any Americans, just journalists.

Same as my memory. Back of my mind I want to say it was Firing Line, with William F. Buckley.

I was working at their building in NYC when one of their journalists was abducted in the Middle East. There was a large amount of wailing and gnashing of teeth of the person.

They sure didn’t like it when I didn’t display concern and commented that if you go to a warzone voluntarily to take war pictures and get hurt that I am not going to feel sorry for you.
