Rush has been talking about this. At first, he said, he wasn't thrilled with the "embedded" troops idea. However, he has come to realize that this was probably a stroke of genius.

Rush said that what's happened is that the media has come to KNOW the men who are fighting - what kind of people they are - why they are fighting - and the media are beginning to connect with them. Rush said he noticed that the media people were referring to the unit by saying "we" did this, or "we" did that - showing that the media had become part of the unit.

We could be on the verge of seeing a huge change in the way news is reported. We could see a return to the real investigative reporters - which is a good thing for America. However, this is not good news for the dems.

The embedded reporter thing pulls the rug out from under the lefties and fellow-travelers (like on DU) who claim that our military is nothing but a bunch of crazed baby-killers. The truly far gone lefties will claim all this is planted, but they will be in the severe minority. A brilliant tactical plan.

Agreed! The truth is never good news for the dems.
