yeah yeah i know that objective reporting is a myth and undesirable anyway, but this just hits me in the hate bone really hard:
Police to embed journalists at trade talks:
http://www.globeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20031110.wembed1110/BNStory/International/
my favourite quote from this thoroughly uncritical globe and mail report (and we all know that the g&m is quite embedded with the folks on bay street/police/good ol' fashioned anglo-ontarian moralists, etc.):
The Herald will participate unless its reporters are asked to sign something that unreasonably restricts their reporting ability, said Executive Editor Tom Fiedler. He said he does not believe the media lose their neutrality by embedding with police.
The practice “in no way makes us allies of law enforcement,” he said. “Rather than being the allies, we are the monitors of law enforcement authorities.”
