The media is going to spin this into an anti-war message.
That is what they do.
A reporter in a war zone is in danger. Dog bites man. Neither are stories.
Now, if Bob Woodruff had dived in front of an IED to save the life of a soldier, THAT would be a story.
The media barely mentioned Ollie North's heroism early in the war. He was "media" too, yet saved some lives by his actions.
