[Vision2020] Best war coverage

[Tina Cunningham]

I watch NBC.....the other night Tom Brokaw cried (you
could hear him sobbing before they cut away).  He was
speaking to the mother of one of the helicopter pilots
that crashed last week.  She stated that having the
news on ALL the channels is hell for the families and
loved ones of the men and women over there. 
Technology may be a blessing for the news media, but
it is a curse for those who are hoping and praying
that their sons and daughters make it out of there
alive.
I couldn't agree more....and wouldn't you know, the
next morning, the media went back to regular
programming, with news updates.
