TV News Coverage in Iraq

I was watching CNN as I was getting ready for work. They had the usual embedded reporter, now headed for Baghdad, talking about their movements and showing other tanks.

Then the bit that really stood out for me. Within 20 minutes they were talking live to the wife of the guy, previously pictured on the tank. The wife was obviously stunned. She indicated that she had not seen her husband since the end of January. CNN replayed the video while she was on the phone, so she was actually watching her husband, nearly live and seeing him on the outskirts of Baghdad. It was strange.

Reminds me of somthing I read somewhere. "Children won't have to ask their father's, "What did you do in Iraq?" They will know because they saw it on TV -- live."
