It turns out that I was able to view that video, but I had to use the download link instead of just watching it in the browser. First off, I always find it ridiculous that news broadcasts have started taking jabs at the competition. I find it distasteful when Fox News does it to CNN, and I find it distasteful now. Sounds like ABC has an identity problem to attack its rivals.
What the hell is wrong asking how the military goes to the bathroom when they're in the field? EVERYONE TAKES A PISS AND A DUMP, so I don't find why its so "offensive" to the ABC people for Fox to be reporting on it. Some people want to know how soldiers live, and what better opportunity than having the embeds do it? On top of that, I watched that live, and I remember that it was pretty late at night when they did that reporting, and as such, didn't really interfere with "real" reporting, which happens during the day. Reminds me of how Ashcroft got all up-tight with nude statues when ALL WOMEN HAVE BREASTS. I think it's more of a crime to show unnatural scenes such as the mutilated bodies of people rather than things that are more natural to human existence (sex included).
How does paying Al-Jazeera for their footage mean that the US broadcasts, Fox, NBC and CBS are bad in any sense? If anything, it shows that these US stations are willing to gather ALL the information and find what it wants to present to its audience. So what this buffoon on ABC is trying to say that you shouldn't criticize and pay an organization at the same time? WELL I'LL BE DAMNED! Looks like either I stop paying my taxes or shut up about Mr. Bushie!
Hogwash. He may have some points there, but my BS filter is already too full to process anymore.
