Wow

More journalists have been killed in Iraq since the war began in March 2003 than during the 20 years of conflict in Vietnam, media rights group Reporters Without Borders (RSF) said on Sunday.
Since U.S. forces and its allies launched their campaign in Iraq on March 20, 2003, 66 journalists and their assistants have been killed, RSF said.
...
The death toll in Iraq compares with a total of 63 journalists in Vietnam, but which was over a period of 20 years from 1955 to 1975, the Paris-based organization that campaigns to protect journalists said on its Web site.

I'm sure this does not bode well for the future of reporting in war zones. I suppose the days of bias reporting are finally being paid for with the blood of the brave people on the ground. The editors should pay a bit more attention to the fact that both sides think the reporting is bias to the other side.
