There's a fine line between legitimate reporting and shameless career-building. I'm considering which side of the line this falls:
wow i just watched it. this is an important artifact youve discovered craner, well done. its a marker of something.
It's not about the war, it's about themselves.
Replace 'war' with 'politics' and this is exactly the same arguement which should be made against the likes of Owen Jones and Novara Media.
do you think it's really so different from traditional self-serving war journalism? if so, how?It's not about the war, it's about themselves

legit question, not rhetorical
obv the technology is different, and that's a particularly obnoxious example, but do you think it's qualitatively worse than yr typical careerism?
i.e. the careerist/danger junkie war correspondent is a basically a stock character
lends it a comic value. i was always against bloggers trying to write content like what you get in magaszines for this reason. its inhnerently absurd
yeah idk eitherMaybe it's simply the sheer volume and numbers, as well as the technology and approach, that is different rather than the fundamental role and human motivation
