Media Coverage of The War
Is it just me or is anyone else appalled at the way the media, both on screen and in print, have reported the ongoing skermish in Afghanistan?
In the Telegraph today was a picture of some "special people" with there faces obscured "at the request of the MOD" whilst another paper showed their faces in full glory.
Even established types like the BBC seem to have scant regard for sensitive issues, showing pictures of special forces and the like.
Is the government at fault, releasing too much info?
As a service person it's really starting too annoy me, any thoughts? Did we learn nothing from the Gulf and Balkans?
