Were the press accurately portrayed in this movie?

LOL no. They were portrayed as the wealthy upper liberal upper class imagines them to be. They have this romantic idea of Le Epic Troubled Badass Outcast who fights for the truth at all costs because they hold themselves to such a noble ideal.

In reality the press is nothing more than the propaganda wing of the ruling class, who regularly warp and distort the truth willingly for their meagre paychecks and blindly and amorally chase faint glimmers of hope relating to their narcissistic dream of being famous and widely known, shovelling whatever shit they're told to shovel.

Western '''''''war correspondents''''' as depicted here haven't even been a thing since Vietnam.

Western journalists don't actually venture into warzones and combat to get action shots any more.
Far too dangerous and uncomfortable for the pampered upper middle class women that make up the majority of modern ''''journalism'''.
I mean look at this fucking movie. You expect me to believe a couple of prissy modern girls would ever put themselves in danger like this? Intentionally? The moment budget Matt Damon pointed his rifle at them they'd have started bending over and offering their pussies in exchange for sweet sweet life before running back home and crying to mommy & daddy.
Of course that extends to the laughable portrayal of female soldiers as well but pretending women aren't complete and utter cowards is just a part of the unyielding modern cultural propaganda everywhere.

But I digress.
No. News agencies don't send war correspondents to warzones anymore. They just contact some locals who are already in the warzone and tell them to get snaps on their 4K cameraphone that everyone has in their pockets these days, and email them to the news agency.

That's why like 500 ''''''journalists''''' have been killed in Gaza. It's not like they were sent in from other places to document the events. They're just random locals that were contracted to send photos.

>this sells for $1,200 retail but today, youre not going to believe this deal
>today we are selling it to you, for $299 yes that's a $900 dollar savings for you, if you order now!

Yes I did. These people subject themselves to horrible and dangerous conditions in an attempt to get "muh scoop", in an act of personal vanity that is fundamentally backed up by the compulsion to document and tell the truth. Upper class liberals believe that all journalists have the same compulsion, but in reality, all they have is the compulsion toward vanity and fame that is whitewashed by an outdated idea of what a journalist even is anymore.

well hes still right to an extent because the wars are completely different. vietnam was an actual warriors in the jungle hunting eachother level. generation kill represents the iraq war and that was retardedly easy to subdue them and all their might in like a few air campaigns over their infrastructure.

The film gets a lot of things right.
I spent five years freelancing in Afghanistan and you dont know what the fuck you’re along about at all. The only reason there’s no non-Palestinian journos in Gaza is because Isreal has banned them Israeli and western demanding access for years. Any one with a functioning brain can fact check that.

lol you chuds spend your life in your moms basement watching (and giving $) to efags like Fuentes to figure out what to think. Stupidest generation in history. Thank god you’re all too lazy, pathetic and worthless that your “politics” will never make a difference.

pic related. iraq was already won before the boys were even boots on the ground in the country.
they were just acting like cops, kidnapping people and surveilling ground targets. not warriors. the show even brings that up "we're not being warriors out here, just highly paid technicians"
