But the problem is when the information costs lives by revealing it.

I'm talking responsibility and someone somewhere should hold these guys accountable for releasing information that puts peoples lives at risk.


During the invasion, a reporter in Baghdad was fired for an interview he did. His objectivity was questioned and he lost his job.

Geraldo gives out troop positions on live TV and last I heard he still has a job at Fox.

I guess I just can't see the justification in it.

With all the talk of holding the press to a standard of objectivity rather than being the administration's propaganda machine, I just don't think we should give them that much of a free pass as to let them put people's lives at risk in order to get the story or be first with the story.

I agree free press is important, but not without some responsibility on their part.
