The guy on Fox I can't stand is Mike Jerrick. What a complete a**. I do think FNC is much more balanced than the other news outlets.

I watched this on Fox until almost 2 am this morning. Like you, I turned off the sound because the Brit reporter was spouting off about things he didn't understand.

So much for these "embedded" reporters...garbage.

[LibertyThug]

I saw this level of bias from Sky News

I saw it too and I agree. On FOX they were talking about how the embedded reporter was young and didn't know much. Whereas on the other hand, he brought up Oliver North and all of his war credentials.

The generals running commentary were very upset about the fact that the Brits were in charge of our Marines and that there seemed to be a lot of playing to the cameras.

Silly me.I always thought reporters reported,editors editorialized,and columnists analyzed.

Speaking of Fox news, when was the last time they updated their website? Three days ago?

[Salvation]

**Then they turned things over to the Military Analyist who agreed that reporters shouldn't be running commentary. Rather they should be reporting what they see.**

My opinion only -- If the reporters continue to do this -- they need to be warned once, and then canned.

So far, I think, the use of embedded reporting - even in this case - is a coup. I watched this jerk on Fox late last night. It's astounding that you can get video of an engagement, a reporter on the scene shooting off his mouth, and corrective commentary by retired military all in REAL TIME. This is AMAZING stuff, and hopefully it really puts a crimp on the ability of reporters to slant the news toward their political agenda.

"If you really want the Iraqi people on your side, why are you bombing Baghdad so hard and scaring them with this Blitzkrieg?"

Sounds like "Are you still beating your wife?"

The other sky news reporter Ramsey was busy protecting the muslim and his cohorts who tried to assassinate the Brigade Commander of the 101 and his CP

Ramsey who was no where near the scene was corrected by Shep Smith of Fox News and told Ramsey that Fox was told by the military to believe the Embeds over anyone else ...which Smith reminded Ramsey that is what they were gonna do...

Yet today its Ramseys spin on the story that is sticking and not what the two reporter eye witnesses to the events one fox reporter and Lacy a Time Magazine reporter..

[I still care]

The Florida St Petersberg Times (a liberal rag) criticized Fox yesterday because Shepherd Smith calls our soldiers "us" and the Iraqi army "the enemy". They said that shows a lack of impartiality.

If that doesn't say what is wrong with the press, I don't know what does.

Note to St Petersberg Times - The Iraqi army IS the enemy and the American soldiers ARE us. Doesn't the truth count for anything anymore?

[CyberAnt]

Boy, I agree - that Julian Phillips looked almost happy at reporting 4 of our soldiers had been killed (it later turned out they were only injured). But the expression on his face really shocked me. The morning gal shushed him up right away - but it was just his demeaner which I objected to. I caught a few minutes of them again this morning, and I just couldn't take it.

[Wavyhill]

The irony of the matter was that the battle that the Sky reporter was wetting his pants over was a mopping-up skirmish in which NOT ONE marine was killed, and in which a number of Iraqis were either killed or captured. He was making it sound like another Iwo Jima.

Great to see that Linda Vester is back tonight. I believe that she delivered a while ago and now she's back to kicking butt and taking names.
