I don't think it was the embedded reporter who was saying most of the stupid things, it was the anchor at the studio. I could be wrong because I was half asleep and they were talking in "British"

The embedded reporter was making it a much more significant event (ie saying that this city/port was supposed to have been under control and now because of this it wasn't).
He wasn't talking about it as an isolated pocket that just needed to be taken out.
