Still, it's long been said that the Vietnam War was lost in the sitting rooms of America, as every evening audiences watched the bodies of dead GIs coming home. So is reporting from the warzone a good idea, and if so, is embedding the way to go, or should reporters be allowed to go where they want, if they agree to take the risk? How sanitised is the version of the truth we get from embedded reporters? Does anyone have opinions either for or against?
Who doesn't love corporate controlled media and regurgitated talking points....?
