That is exactly what it is. Now, which group has better credibility? Hint, it's not the reporters.
All this handwringing makes me nauseous, THIS IS WAR, people die, GOOD GUYS and BAD GUYS, journalists are NOT exempt. I admire more than I can say how our troops have gone above and beyond to MAINTAIN HONOR on the battlefield by NOT killing civilians. Now that journalists were killed, somehow that FACT rises to a level that is just can NOT be accepted.
I sent a nasty-gram to MSNBC because they let some English reporter from ITN pontificate about the claim of sniper-fire from the hotel was absurd. This moron let the viewers know sniper-fire is only good for about 600 meters. When my wife was in J-school they called that a fact-error. (What can you expect from a disarmed nation?)
I told MSNBC I had visited their station from my normal FOXNEWS, because I'd heard they were doing a good job. I wasn't watching MSNBC more than five minutes before they had this dip-stick on.
I told them if they couldn't hire reporters that were at least conversant with the subjects they reported on I'd stay with FOX; thank you very much.
