Franks has shut down the news to protect the troops.

Thank you. I was complaining about Fox showing live action when our troops moved across the border after CENTCOM had issued instructions that NO embedded reporter was to give live time reports or video. Fox reporter kept saying he had permission but that made no sense since CENTCOM reporting said that there was a lid on any reporting live giving any operational information until the operation was over or CENTCOM determined it was okay.

MSNBC was made fun of because I reported that NBC had said they would show no live action of our ground troops and would only show the tape that had been cleared by CENTCOM. BTW, MSNBC is not a channel I normally turn to but I happen to like to listen to military experts instead of anchors that wouldn't know an F-15 from an F-16.

My two cents!
