US Marine Outs Washington Postâs Man in Bagdad
EFL & via InstapunditIraq veterans often say they are confused by American news coverage, because their experience differs so greatly from what journalists report. Soldiers and Marines point to the slow, steady progress in almost all areas of Iraqi life and wonder why they donât get much notice â or in many cases, any notice at all. Why is that, Devil Dog? Part of the explanation is Rajiv Chandrasekaran, the Baghdad bureau chief for the Washington Post. He spent most of his career on the metro and technology beats, and has only four years of foreign reporting, two of which are in Iraq. The 31-year-old now runs a news operation that can literally change the world, heading a bureau that is the source for much of the news out of Iraq. OHMYGOD! They sent a dot-com-boy to do a manâs job. Bwawawawa. Candy asses. And, ...cutting to the chase: Since I saw Rajiv Chandrasekaranâs integrity up close, I havenât believed a word he writes, or any story coming out of the bureau he runs. You shouldnât, either. You are not alone! You will not be let down by the entire article. Coffee, check. Donuts, check. Posted by: Dragon Fly 2004-06-30 |
