Robert Fisk: The heroic myth and the uncomfortable truth of war reporting

This is an interesting viewpoint from a reporter who has covered many wars during his prolific career. His basic thesis is that covering wars is not about the war itself or the war victims: it has become about the reporters who cover the war. Fisk is voicing his opinion during a 3-week span where a number of journalist have died covering the Syrian uprising.
