The Middle East is the hottest news area around, and the media have abandoned it to stringers at best. This is how you end up broadcasting propaganda.

She finally appeared, as you were typing, Moi. She is their chief foreign correspondent and responsible for most of their awards, so she’s probably going to keep her job for a while, but she is working from New York, rather than London, these days.

The media are like the tiny-tyke soccer leagues, where all the kids crowd around the ball. Once someone identifies a story, they all cluster around it.

Well....these big news organizations (both tv and print) are dumping their big reporters right and left. One of my friends was a bigwig at Newsweek, and this happened to him, too. He is now with a major newspaper and no longer an international correspondent. CNN used to use him all the time, too - he was on TV a lot. My guess is that they have probably booted so many reporters that they are hard up to send anyone anywhere. Or, are you sure Christine still works there?? :* .-= ´s last blog ..Bitch, Pleez… =-.
