Woody Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 In watching Fox News as I usually do ... I notice that they have a producer "embedded" with Obama. She reports what the Obama campaign is doing. But since when do we need a producer to be embedded like that? What does it mean? What happened to just having reporters ... report about the candidates. Why does one need to be embedded? Perhaps I am just to old fashioned ... but personally I don't feel it is necessary. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won.

Amelia Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Embedded just means that that one particular reporter is with Obama 24/7. Since the computer age began many people have become addicted to more in depth and personal celebrity info than what little a newspaper/magazine delivers. Maybe "embedded" should be one of those words we don't hear in 2008?

Woody Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 Quote: Embedded just means that that one particular reporter is with Obama 24/7 Oh No ! I was afraid it might mean that. If she is with him 24/7 she would have a more intimate report I guess. But, I thought Obama was married. Or should I not ask? Quote May we be one so that the world may be won.

Amelia Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Oh Red, LOLOLOLOL the reporter doesnt sleep with the celebrity just is with their entourage. The reporter has his/her own rooms.

Ron Lambert Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 The term "embedded" is popular because it is evocative of the journalists who were said to be "embedded" with military units during the invasion of Iraq. It's a fashionable term, that's all. Nothing new is actually being done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
