Nice (UPDATE: Even Nicer!)
Tony Snow, in an interview with Hugh Hewitt, just now said that more people are going to get the word about what’s really going on in Iraq, because more people are going over there to embed and get the word out.
For example, “Michelle Malkin is over there right now“, he said.
That’s second-hand via Mrs. See-Dubya, but he definitely mentioned Michelle’s trip. (I’ll watch for a transcript).
It’s nice to be noticed.
UPDATE, 6:19 PST: Hugh has the transcript up.
HH: All right, yesterday, the President also mentioned that there will be lots of carnage on television screens. Is the administration, and especially the Pentagon, prepared to fight the new media war when that starts to happen, Tony Snow?TS: We’ve been fighting it. I mean, it’s not that it has started to happen, it’s been going on for some time. What is interesting, Hugh, and you know this as well as anybody else, you’re also starting to see little glimmers of guys like Michael Yon and others who get over there and they basically embed themselves in Iraq, and Michelle Malkin’s over there now.
HH: Bill Roggio, you bet. They go over and do first hand reporting.
The embeds aren’t all he’s noticed, either:
HH: As we saw during the summer war between Hezbollah and Israel, Tony Snow, Hezbollah went to such lengths as to stage atrocities, buildings blown up, and victims left in there.
TS: Yeah.
HH: Are you, as the head of the White House communications operation, prepared to immediately get out there and quarrel with that and stop those sorts of stories from metastasizing?
TS: Yeah, I am looking forward to meeting Captain Jumil [sic] Hussein, but other than that, yes. You’ve seen the latest on that, right?
HH: No, I haven’t. I haven’t read today. Is he back and not existing again?
TS: He’s back to non-existence.
HH: (laughing) But that’s the new media war…
TS: Yeah.
