I'm watching the (excellent) Ken Burns Netflix series and it really makes you wonder. I guess no military ever repeated this as it was a PR nightmare for the war. But how did the media get this incredible access. For example, the number of dead bodies on the news, you just don't see that nowadays. I suppose thats deliberate so as to distance us from the consequences of war?

Well first i think it would be helpful to clarify which one you mean OP. He has done several on different conflicts, all of which generally had press and media members that could be pretty close to the fighting and sometimes file outright shocking for the homefront reports.
