I just saw CBS reporter Lara Logan’s response to attacks on media coverage of Iraq, on CNN’s Reliable Sources program. You can see the video and read a transcript at the Crooks & Liars link above. A quick quote:

“Oh, sorry, we can't show this reconstruction project because then that's going to expose it to sabotage. And the last time we had journalists down here, the plant was attacked.” I mean, security dominates every single thing that happens in this country…. So how it is that security issues should not then dominate the media coverage coming out of here?

Be sure and watch all the way to the end—her reaction to the host’s protest that Laura Ingraham had recently been in Iraq is priceless.

I think Jack Cafferty hit the nail on the head in another C&L video clip when he said (paraphrasing from memory), “Suppose St. Patricks Cathedral in New York was blown up and then 50 bodies were found in the streets of NYC every day afterwards. You think the news media wouldn’t cover that?”
