And exactly how does not wanting to broadcast the location of our troops 'filtering' what is getting reported? I'm not ignorant enough to claim that they don't filter what we see, in fact, I know they do. But not wanting the reporters to know exact locations does not interfer with their ability to report facts. It's a safety concern. Overkill? Maybe. But if I had an embedded reporter, I would be leary about giving him our exact position. You don't seem to trust CNN fully, and neither do they.
