News about good things in Iraq

[jamesrage]

Fox does have reporters in Iraq.. well in the Green Zone. They are often used by the Murdoch owned news station in Europe Sky News...

And people had not heard about the planting of stories in Iraqi newspapers? Was all over the news over here in Nov/Dec 2005.

If they don't mention that they're military it could be seen as a bad journalism practice.

Interesting, but this was the question:

You're asking me to prove a negative.

I may be mistaken on this, but I do not believe that Fox has a correspondent stationed in Iraq. I've seen Ollie North and Geraldo pop in and out on occasion, but other than that, I don't know of a regular reporter who submits stories on Iraq from Fox.

Well that's one of the negatives which you are able to prove or disprove, if someone asks you to prove that that there isn't a person in the room next door all you have to do is go in the room and show them that the room is empty.

Watch:

During the 2003 Iraq War, as an "embedded journalist" with U.S. forces in Iraq, he drew a map in the sand during a live broadcast on the Fox News Channel, which the Pentagon felt revealed potentially damaging strategic information. The Pentagon announced that they were forcing him out of Iraq; two days later Rivera announced that henceforth and voluntarily he would be reporting on the Iraq conflict from Kuwait. The Daily Show jokingly (yet correctly) pointed out that he was only the fourth person that the Department of Defense had said must leave Iraq - the other three being Saddam Hussein and his two sons.

You see I just disproved that negative.

In all seriousness that's a good thing. I liked Hemmer when he was at CNN, and he did some good lournalistic reporting. This is a recent change for Fox in having a correspondent based there. I couldn't see from this story if it's a full-time assignment or a short-term thing.

The stories are in the "red zone" - that's where any good journalist should be.

From a March 21, 2006 story.

This is Hemmer's first Iraq trip since 2003, after the capture of Saddam Hussein, when he was with CNN. He reported from Kuwait at the start of the war and from Afghanistan before that.

Hemmer's main focus this week is the Americans the ground, and that's why he's at Camp Fallujah.

I don't care if it's a negatine, it's still your claim. 'd like to see you support it. And you are correct, you just may be mistaken.

So how many journalists does Fox have in their bureau overseas? In Iraq? In the Red zone?

Like I said atleast one, how many does CNN have? I heard that the majority of the negative news getting reported out of Iraq is made up by people who don't even leave the hotel balcony, the good news is coming from the embedded reporters, I wonder why that is?
