The Rendon Group has been grading embedded reporters in Afghanistan according to Stars and Stripes. They dub the reporter's work either "positive," "neutral" or "negative."

PJ Tobia, over at True/Slant obtained his and posted it. He writes:

Most troubling by far is that when S&S asked the military about Rendon, they denied the existence of these reports. I'm holding one of these reports in my hand right now, trust me, it exists. I've also met people who work for The Rendon Group in Kabul. In conversations, they deny that there is any nefarious objective to what they do. "We just help the military figure out what embed is right for a particular reporter," one Rendon employee told me over drinks. "If a reporter is classified as "negative" they are less likely to go where the action is and more likely to be covering a platoon that guards sandbags in Herat."
