"The first sergeant says we have to move now (OK John..I'll wrap it, let's go!). We are moving now, so I have to go."
You are all correct---this experience is already having a profound impact on newsrooms and cable outlets--as well as print media. Did you read the story about the reporter in Newsweek who almost got killed, and then decided to stay with a unit from now on? He even said his photographer was "rescued by fellow Americans."
This is a far cry from the journalistic traitors that claimed in interviews they would allow Americans to die before they would "compromise their news sources."
When this war is over (and it will end, I assure you, with our victory) these men and women who were embedded will return to New York, Los Angeles, London, and Washington DC and tell stories at cocktail parties to the ones who stayed behind....and I bet 99% of them will not tolerate allegations by their fellow newsies that our brave American, British, and Aussie troops were out there killing civilians with wanton glee or mongering for Iraqi blood.
They will look at the liberals in the newsroom and say: "Wrong! I was there."
