a war zone with only the word "MEDIA" for protection takes at least some
bravery, as opposed to sticking a camera in the faces of the sobbing newly

shoot at reporters, but, as Murphy observed and Ms. Robson found out the
hard way, this doesn't help with bullets addressed to "Occupant".

While I'm on the topic, I've heard of a new development in the eternal quest
for higher ratings. Supposedly at least one major network is about to start
offering live simsense news feed to their premium subscribers--the ultimate
in immersive voyuerism.]<<<<<

get their carnage fix in all 5 senses instead of just 2.]<<<<<
