2. more, where he mentions reporters who have lost their lives in Irag.



......Tell that to David Bloom. Sometimes he hosted the Today Show in Matt Lauer's stead, but he does not any longer. He died in Iraq. He did not die from the inherent dangers of the confllict, but from a pulmonary embolism, having spent his last days reporting the news embedded with troops in conflict.

Tell that to Bob Woodruff and Doug Vogt. The ABC anchor and his camerman were both seriously injured by one of those IED's Laura Ingraham belittles.

Tell that to Jill Carroll, a freelancer for the Christian Science Monitor, kidnapped and still missing in Iraq.

The point is not that journalists are immune from criticism. The point is that the criticism should be grounded in reality.......
