The spotlight hunger that this McCain-created Frankenstein-esque monster has cannot be sated.

To be honest with you, I don't think journalists should be anywhere allowed war (sic). I mean, you guys report where our troops are at, you report what's happening day-to-day, you make a big deal out of it. I think it's asinine. I liked back in World War I and World War II, when you'd go to the theater and you'd see your troops on the screen and everyone would be real excited and happy for them. Now everyone's got an opinion and wants to down soldiers, our American soldiers, Israeli soldiers. I think media should be abolished from, you know, reporting. You know, war is hell, and if you're going to sit there and say, "Well, look at this atrocity," well, you don't know the full story behind it half the time. So I think the media should have no business in it.

I actually partly agree with his point. I don't believe that the media has any business being on the battlefield. There's just no way that an "embedded" reporter can really get the proper, large enough picture to accurately report the news. In fact, I find that it's done for more sensationalism than anything.

I mean, have you ever seen a report from Geraldo Rivera in a war zone?
