Two CBS crewmembers were killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq today and correspondent Kimberley Dozier is in critical condition. Please say a prayer for them and their loved ones.
Veteran cameraman Paul Douglas, 48, and soundman James Brolan, 42, were killed, CBS said in a statement. Correspondent Kimberly Dozier, 39, was in critical condition at a U.S. military hospital in Baghdad after undergoing surgery.
Ironic and sad that CBS wasn't the place for real-time information on this story; I found the soap-opera "The Young and the Restless" when I checked in on CBS while Fox News was reporting this. But then, that's one of the reasons why network news is becoming increasingly yesterday's news: because, by definition, network news is part of a network that includes non-news programming. Cable news never has to fight itself for dominance in order to report the news.
