Off Topic » in reply to Dan Rather Finally Speaks Out (just a little too late)

Who cares what Dan Rather thinks? He's just a news reader.

<"There has never been an American war small or large in which access has been so limited as this one."

That's bullshit and he knows it. Hundreds of journalists have received training and are tagging along with military units, equipped with the latest in satellite communications equipment.

Contrast that to WWII, where journalists also went along with military units but were dependent on the military for their communications. The military frequently censored the news if they thought it might compromise security.

Or, contrast that to several other conflicts in the past 15 years where journalists were basically shut out altogether.
