The horrifying truth of the Vietnam War, brought into our living rooms each night, helped end that war. It’s very hard for people, when exposed to the truth of burned babies to feel enthusiastic about war, which is why the corporations behind our new and improved, highly consolidated media, try to shield us from such truths. Of course, the fact that these very same corporations make the weapons systems might have something to do with it as well.

  2. #2    On the very day of the annoncement that "embedding" was to be the new media policy, I posted "What a convenient way to control news coming from the battlefield. A system unheard of in any other war. A system reporters like Edward R Merle and many of the Korean and Vietnam reporters would have railed against. It might do well to note few reporters of the Iraqui war were not of the calibre of those that preceded their once noble careers.
