Why Americans hate reporters:
Exerpt:
"I'm a little bit at a loss to understand why, because you're an American, you would not have covered that story."

Ogletree pushed Wallace. Didn't Jennings have some higher duty to do something other than just roll film as soldiers from his own country were being shot?

"No," Wallace said flatly and immediately. "You don't have a higher duty. No. No. You're a reporter!"

This begs the question: If a reporter is shot during an ambush and so is a soldier, and only one can be evacuated, why bother with the reporter?
By the way, I have been sadly involved with the press from 1978 until present and see it is a deplorable thing.

I see Newsday is saying that their policy is not to offend anyone. When did they become an advertising circular without swinger ads?

It would be great if this sort of thing could be settled in a humane way instead of sending big men with guns to arrest bullys who would probably have stopped for good if the "gingers" (I am one) had stood up to them and given back what they were getting, maybe even given more.
This is nothing but a feminist state given muscle by the police apparatus.
