Re: Most Dubious Moment in War Coverage
they had those stupid video phone picutres of the tanks driving through the sand
Yes, I watched some 20 minutes of "live, never-before-seen exclusive video" of a bunch of Bradley fighting vehicles racing through the desert at night. The reporter certainly made it sound exciting.
Too bad it was pitch dark where he was. And that he didn't have a night vision lens for the piece of crap thingy he was calling a camera.
Still, better that than watching live coverage of bombs and missiles falling on Bagdhad. Am I the only one who thinks there's something a bit wrong with that?
I mean, I watch the fireballs too and I congratulate the journalists who are in Iraq, especially Bagdhad, for being there. But it's almost presented as entertainment. Or maybe that's just how I see it. Anyhow, I've stopped watching it for the most part. I like the pictures of Iraqis surrendering though.
