1185236 2011-03-11 22:16:00 I would like to know why the journos all stay in a nice safe hotel in Tripoli and file reports on fighting hundreds of miles away further east. They might as well be on Campbell Island.
Why dont some of the journos with nuts get to the towns where the fighting is and report it bullet by bullet. Preposition journos in cities that are expecting attack.
Absolutely pathetic reporting at the moment gone backwards since Vietnam and former yugo fighting where the the media were in the thick of it.
You cant trust some rebel jabbering into a cellphone like some hysterical woman calling after a road accident.

1185237 2011-03-11 23:22:00 The BBC had a reporter on the ground with the rebels and I'm sure Reuters will have too but they sell all their stories to other people gary67 (56)
1185238 2011-03-11 23:33:00 All the news I have seen on TV has the reporters up on the front lines with the rebels ducking from the bullets and bombs.

Same here.

Some say Gadaffi will win, I think he will be gone in 6 months.

Pse give me some sites I have been following BBC, AL Jareeza, CNN getting really pissed off with the unconfirmed reports of bla bla. Why the hell arent they at the front lines getting the confirmations. The press has gone down in my estimations this war. What happened to the war correspondents did they die out?
