ABC News journalist Jon Karl is a serious journalist who should be taken very seriously.
Especially when he says stuff like this:
ABC's Jon Karl: Covering an Indoor Trump Rally is Like 'Taking Your Family With You to Fallujah' https://t.co/yEaJvDS4JU

More from Mediaite:
Karl, who was president of the White House Correspondents’ Association at the time of Trump’s Tulsa rally in June, noted that the contagious nature of the virus makes it unlike shooting a war. “This is not like embedding with the Marines in Fallujah,” he said to the National Journal. “It is like you are taking your family with you to Fallujah.”
Karl also noted that while some organizations encouraged their reporters to stay outside during the rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the Las Vegas rally was “the first time that everybody stayed out except for the pool.”
That's a little dramatic Jon, don't you think ?

Not in the least!
I covered a Trump rally in Colorado Springs. I stood with members of the media while the crowd turned and booed during his bit about "Fake News".
I then got back in the car and drove away without a scratch. https://t.co/AIxv4mW03w

Exactly the same.
The poor dear.
However, having lost a family member in Fallujah, I highly doubt this.
