Journalists and Soldiers

Posted By Blackfive

John G. sends this Myrna Blyth NRO piece about a Columbia Journalism School First Amendment breakfast (panel discussion).  Definitely check it out.

Some of the reactions from the group, as disappointing as they are, probably won't surprise you.

There are some really great journalists out there and I don't want to give the impression that all of them don't understand what it's like to be a Soldier or that believe that Soldiers are not decent people.  I know of a few cases of embeds helping Soldiers and Marines stay alive.  But I also know that some journalists have a bias against the military (or the Bush Administration, and, therefore, the military in Iraq).  And I believe that there is more bias in the upper Executive levels of the media than with the reporters.
