How To Get The Big Story

From page 43 of the new book by Michael Hastings – The Operators: The Wild and Terrifying Inside Story of America’s War in Afghanistan:

Dave mentioned a TV reporter who flashed her breasts to get an embed with his Navy SEAL team…

The Famous Television Anchor, whose name Duncan asked me not to reveal, was a big personality at an American network. She was doing a story on McChrystal. They were in a Blackhawk helicopter. Duncan was sitting next to the anchor. One of McChrystal’s things was that his entourage didn’t travel in body armor, which played a key role in this story. The anchor kept cupping her breasts. She looked at Duncan, who had a quizzical look on his face. “It’s my implants — they get cold,” she told Duncan. “I have to hold up little heat packs to them” — the kind skiers use to warm their gloves. “Here, you can feel them.” The anchor grabbed Duncan’s hands and pressed them to her breasts.
