One reason is fear, the other reason is because they'd much rather just sit back and "report" on things they hear rather than experience anything first hand. I respect any reporter who can go over there and endure what the military does just so they can get an ACCURATE story out to the world.

the military learned a lesson from Vietnam, and then picked up what happened in the Falklands war. the British escorted the journalist and it was part of the program if they wanted footage they had to ride shotgun or else no story. therefore, the story that the reporters got was from briefings from military personnel. the u.s. did this in the first war with Iraq and thus it continues. journalist are not willing to go outside the line afraid of getting nothing at all. read carruthers "media at war," it explains it a lot better than i tried to do here.

Iraq is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Being an American journalist is twice the risk.

Please do not refer to Rush Limbaugh as a journalist, you cheapen what real journalists are by putting that guy in that profession.

Get some sense, Seems to me they have a right to be afraid, the new Iraqi government cannot guarantee their (journalists) safety and the locals would be intimidated by a platoon of US infantry securing an area just for the journalists to talk to the locals.

Do I believe a statistic? it somewhat is an somewhat stupid question. My answer is "no", i do no longer think that unlawful extraterrestrial beings are killing precisely 12 individuals an afternoon. in fact that all of us got here from different worldwide places initially, except you're a community American, and who're we to place regulations on who else can come and prosper right here? The humorous difficulty is that an undesirable lot of those Republican anti-immigration nutjobs are professing to be Christians, and what ought to be extra rightious than telling people to stay in thier own impoverished u . s ., go through, and die so as that we are able to have slightly extra elbow room. in case you're heavily in contact that illegals are killing extra of those "rightful" individuals than this pointless and greed fueled conflict why do no longer you recommend some thing clever, like combating the conflict and spending the billions of dollars that finally end up in Haliburtons wallet on fixing our poverty difficulty with the aid of coming up jobs and investment courses for whoever needs to be a effective component to our society.

Snarky, you might want to check your sources before you give yourself away as a moron.
Mr. Limbaugh was talking specifically of a true phoney soldier by the name of Jesse Mcbeth. He claimed to have seen the autrocities in afghanistan and in Iraq. He mentioned rape, kids getting killed, etc, etc. Problem was he was a PHONEY. He never made it out of boot camp, he got kicked out. He didn't go anywhere or see anything.
Its people like you that make Politics such a sticky ordeal becasue you believe the liberal lies then you spread it.
Mr. Limbaugh has been it the leadersihp role of the Marine charity....name escapes me at the moment, but has supported the troops through thick and thin....what have you ever done ? He even donated over 2 million of his own money to match the top bid on Ebay for the shameful letter Harry Reid wrote and 40 of his democrat buddies signed in an attempt to interfer or intimidate him in a private sector business.
Get your facts straight before you spread your hyped mis-information.
As for the question, I'd say its been answered. Liberal media do not want to know the truth when its good news....Good news doesn't sell papers or get the emotional morons up in arms. They are also not courageous enough to face the possibility of death.

Anti-Iraq war journalists will be shot in the guise of stray bullets and it is the reason why they are afraid to go to Iraq.

Yes. They are afraid of getting pumped full of bullets and abducted by the opposition. They're rich cowards who'd rather sit in the comfort of their fancy homes while innocent youngsters sacrifice themselves in vain.

There is no news worthy of reporting all the bad news is disappearing. It has been replaced with good news. That will make most of the channels other than FOX look stupid.

Because most of the media is liberal and they don't want to have to report the truth that Iraq is improving.
