Where's Today's Joe Galloway?

More and more on the news you see reporters and they look like machines, just spitting out information and numbers with no emotion. They could be reading, "3 US Soldiers died in Al-Anbar today" or "Two monkeys escaped from the zoo" or "15 car pile up on I-5 kills three generations in a minivan" or "Honey would you pick up some milk on the way home?" and you couldn't tell the difference. Whatever they are reporting, it seems like one thing is common with The Media: Let's see how gruesome of a story you can come up with without flinching or missing a beat.

Where are the reporters who moved you, who you could relate to and feel the emotion behind what they are saying? Why is it the standard now to not feel? Everytime I hear of an Iraqi cilvilian, or US Soldier, or anyone dying (except for say, criminals Osama, or Zarqawi) it strikes a chord of sadness in me, as I'm sure it does to everyone who hears it...so why does The Media pretend like it doesn't?

I want to know who's going to step up and be Dan Rather (A man with flaws sure, as we all are, you know, us real people)? Who's going to be Joe Galloway, and drop his camera for an M-16 while on patrol with US troops instead of trying to get the best angle on a puddle of blood? Joe Galloway earned a Bronze Star with a V for Valor for moving under fire to pull a wounded GI from enemy bullets. I wonder how today's reporters would act in that situation? I'm afraid they would try to take pictures of him.
