Check out former Green Beret Michael Yon's absolutely astonishing war-blog, Michael Yon Online. Yon is a gifted writer and photographer (you've probably seen this famous, very sad photo he took of an American soldier holding a little girl mortally wounded by a terrorist car bomb in Iraq; Fox News Channel's John Gibson made it the centerpiece of his "My Word" segment in May of last year, and Col. Oliver North has noted the pic as well.)
Yon is not featured on television news often enough (though you can check out the video of an appearance on CNN's "Reliable Sources" here.) Yon gets as close to the fighting as anybody can (the pic above of a soldier dragging a terrorist who had just attacked his men into an alley is a typical Yon dispatch) and his insights into war come from a heart that is patriotic but unflinching. Yon puts the story out there for you to examine in all its facets. Yon's brand of reporting is more proof that the fair and balanced ethos Fox News has established in modern journalism is here to stay; once you've gotten the opportunity to make up your own mind about the news, there is no substitute. Check it out.
