The Media has every right to be embedded with the Military. This is nothing new. Its been around since before WW1. The only difference is that the ability to speed the reporting/receiving process has greatly improved. Back when Mr. Boyd was a pup, you had to see the news at the local theater before a movie. The news was often weeks old, but available. Today, we see it as soon as it happens. That is progress. Media Management has changed over the years. Much of what is being shown today would not have years ago, but today with Media competition being what it is seems to justify it in their minds. Whether its wrong or right will depend on others to judge. As a feeble example of crazy tv, I'm sure that some of you saw the blip on Desperate Housewife's before the football game the other night after 8pm. 20 seconds of nothing, but yesterday, it was re, reported over again and again and again as though it was a nasty piece of dirt. Nothing was shown and no one saw anything. But it was replayed during the daytime so that little kiddies could see it and judge for themselves. Go Figure. W
