#3 Attention nano-violin players: while Rantburgers have pointed out that some reporters don't get out of their hotels, many do get in harm's way to report the truth. They deserve respect. When Liberia was blowing up in 1990, and we had family there, we listened to Elizabeth Blunt on the BBC, talking as calmly as if she were serving tea while bullets whanged and zinged in the background. And we knew our family members were within earshot of the same bullets. Don't snort until you've faced the same dangers.
