Why is the war coverage so lame?
In the first few days of the war you got to see any number
of embedded reporters on the scene 24x7, now only the
couple that work for CNN and MSNBC. I don't mind that
the make up half the stories, but only a small fraction
of their coverage is on-the-scene in any sense.
The Canadian coverage totally sucks.
BBC reporting is ok but a bit heavy on analysis when the
interesting thing is the events taking place. I like their
coverage from Basra.
There is some fairly good coverage running with the
Kurds in N.Iraq on many of these channels but nothing
much in the other places.
What happened to Ted Koppel, KIA? Is he on only in
his Nightline slot? and there are 500 others?
They should have used a pool.
