American journalists can no longer pretend they’re just observers reporting the facts. Their reputation as partisans willing to hide or distort the truth has become so undeniable that they have to take care not to contact the side of the dispute they’ve decided they’re going to discredit in their reporting. They are now active participants who take sides, and they have to accept the consequences.

Stupid journalists had better wise up and grow up.
The wild eyed amish over there don’t give a rat’s rear how much American reporters hate their own country, they are still Americans. AKA targets. How’s that whole religion of peace thing working for you there ABC?

I know. They are so arrogant they thought they could waltz in to a civil war and rabble rouse the masses. I am amazed Mubarak put up with it as long as he did. Now Obama has us in a Lose Lose situation. What a genius.

Even history has shown that Walter Cronkike was not just reporting news, but putting his spin on it. Reporters now a days are always putting their spin on the news. Mostly liberal spin. It is more of an entertainment industry now that news is streamed 24/7/365. Maybe the radicals in Egypt have not explained themselves clear enough. I say send in as many reporters as possible to make sure that the news is reported correctly and completely. They feel these people are just misunderstood; let all the reporters witness the religion of peace first hand. Once the rocks start hitting their cars and a few of them are kidnapped, injured, or killed, maybe they will understand that this could be a problem.
