Foreign correspondents do matter, they are important. I am sick to death of the shlock that is being served up by mainstream media. I really dont need to be told that this person felt scared, or that person was terrified. I dont need to hear 'their' story. I want in depth reporting. I want to know the why's and what's, I want to be informed. I dont want to be dumbed down, maybe that is the challenge for mainstream media and why people are using the internet to gain information. We are all being starved of good old traditional facts! Here, here Eric! Foreign correspondents do matter, they are important.
