I usually watch Fox late at night, but last night turned on CNN because they had a live feed of an embedded reporter. As biased as CNN is, the reporter was like a walking, talking ad for the military. He was describing how they fought to cross the river, and raved about the professionalism of our heros attacking the enemy to secure the bridge. And CNN allowed the feed for most of the night. Embedded reporters was a great idea!

Hopefully, they'll come home with different attitudes.

Maybe one of 'em will "explain" the real world to Katie Colic.

Embedded reporters are, for the most part, a good thing.

Yes, there's just no way you can be with frontline troops like this and not be pro-military after awhile. I agree, it was a great idea, plus some of these embedded reporters will move up the food chain at the news networks and possibly become anchors someday. Imagine pro-military newsmen? What a concept!
