CNN's John Roberts is now embedded with the Israeli military (screen cap).

[Fridays Child]

I wonder if, for balanced coverage, they also have a reporter embedded with Hezbollah.

[maalak]

1. do you honestly think Hezbollah would allow it?

[Mrs. Overall]

2. Oh, but for the REAL news, look what's on the ticker--

Exclusive look into Scott and Lacey Peterson's house! Wow!

(sorry, meant this to reply to the original poster)

[Moochy]

3. Hezbollah is not a state

Not being a state, and having no air defenes, Hezbollah would be a making a bad mistake to transmit video about where their troops are massed or intending to move. The state actor gets to embed friendly reporters, the terrorists must make propaganda films in secret.
That's one of the many benefits of being a state, (Israel) compared to say the limited benefits of being internationally condemned terrorist faction within the state of Lebanon.

So no, I think they'd not allow it. Everything I've seen depicts them as camera shy, so as to not give up their locations.

on edit added italics stuff, for clarity(?)

6. I don't believe that U.S. reporters should be embedded with either side.

Embedded reporters risk losing their objectivity.

[leesa]

9. Objectivity? Concerning Israel? Funny.

[chimpymustgo]

22. Is the Israeli govt CENSORING his reports, as they are Israeli media?

The Video the Israel's IDF Didn't Want the World to See
If it weren't for a courageous act by Israel's Channel 2, this video from CBC News would never have been aired.

[pooja]

7. send geraldo..then he'd give up troop location.

[Moochy]

8. He's too busy defending BillO from KeithO

Geraldo is already embedded with Bill O'Reilley in the fight against liberal media... ;-)

[pretzel4gore]

20. that utterly sick sex maniac...

i saw his bragging book in a 2nd hand bookstore the other day-yexch. the punk brags about screwing 10/s of thousands of women (wilf chamberlain also claimed something similar, but he's a basketball player sending messages to his fans, so while distasteful, it's still ok: jerry rivers otoh is a journalist(huh?), a guy who supposedly makes his living via intellectual pursuits!)

[UTUSN]

4. Why doesn't he embed in Baghdad, outside of the Green Zone? n/t

[Nimrod2005]

5. No balance in coverage, was never as clear as today: Arab media

reported 12 IDF soldiers killed in various battles, and the MSM is the US on only reporting on the 11 civilian deaths in Israel and the one person Israel claims was part of the capture of its soldiers...etc.

Trying so hard to declare some victory or make it look like Israel is winning something...etc. Their marching orders call for them to: 1) talk up the capture of THE one Hizbollah fighter, when there is no reason at all to think that he is one of the people who participated in the July 12 attack...etc. and 2) how civilians died today in Israel (in larger number...etc.).

Israel is losing the PR war BIG time in the Arab world and internationally, working very very hard in the US and Israel to highlight the smallest accomplishments...etc (not working.....).

Round 1,2,3,4, and 5 all go to Al Jazeerah so far...

[Truthiness Inspector]

10. I don't think it would be very safe

to embed oneself with a terrorist group. Reporters know that the Israeli forces aren't going to kidnap or kill them, but with Hezbollah...

[spanone]

11. Are they aware that WE HAVE A WAR in Iraq????

[Fridays Child]

12. Oh, yeah. That war.

x(

[Moochy]

14. Iraq is so... Afghanistan... we are moving on to newer shinier wars!

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

13. Why Would They Embed A Reporter With Terrorists?

Did they embed a reporter with al-qaeda or the taliban?

[Fridays Child]

15. Yes. Why seek an opposing point of view? That's not journalism.

/sarcasm

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

17. Would You Feel Safe Embedded With Terrorists?

I wouldn't trust to be in their presence. But that's just me. I don't trust terrorists.

[Fridays Child]

18. Me either...

...which is why I have issues with the Bush administration.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

19. True. I Most Definitely Wouldn't Want To Be Embedded With Them Either.

[Spazito]

23. Only Israel, the United States and Canada have Hezbollah listed

as a terrorist organization. Ummmm, that tells me that the majority of the countries in the world do not see them as a terrorist organization but it suits the purposes of some not to acknowledge that fact.

It is a minute minority of three countries yet those three countries should be the world standard, I don't think so.

"The Hezbollah or Hizbollah (Arabic: حزب الله‎ ḥizbu-llāh<1>, meaning Party of God) is a Lebanese Islamist Shi'a organization and political party<2><3>, with a military arm and a civilian arm <4>. One of Hezbollah's principal declared aims is to resist Israeli occupation of Southern Lebanon.<5>. Hezbollah is currently led by its Secretary General, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. It has been designated a terrorist organization by Israel, the United States, and Canada<6>."

16. Let the state define the rules of the coverage, engagement

Let them define the enemies, let them define who can and can't be spoken to or heard from, and while we are at it let the state wipe my drool please.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

21. If Only I Knew What In The World You Were Talking About.

[pretzel4gore]

24. he's overstating what you're saying...

you're saying the big money crooks of israel get all the marbles in this sinker game (and they should wipe his dopey/befuddled face too, a play on your gullibility lol) which is an exageration of what you're saying - the 'terrorists' otoh get nothing, but are expected to play by the rules
btw the ones doing the 'terrorising' are the israelis, even the local rightwingnuts agree to that, they just say it's necessary...
