there are Iraqi girls who are walking to school, and it's that wonderful sign of resilience that is the fabric, the background of life there.” But, “to go out and do that story....we'd probably be putting those children in danger because that is the nature of television.”

Put them in danger by doing a story about going to school?

I guess I'm more out of step with the MSM than I thought. I just don't see a scrap of logic here.

The MSM is a bunch of lying whores who's running scared now that the cat's being let out of the bag. If the troop "surge" works with violence going down and no massive increase in troop deaths then people will start questioning what they have been getting from the media.

I think I have read that if the media were to go out and do a positive story about the school, that school would then become a terror target...

Evidently you haven't heard how crazy Islamofascists are.

Terrorists are mastering the media. If the media shows a something good in Iraq the terrorists will attack it because it goes against their narrative.
