What was stupid and naive? That an American News corporation was gathering news for American consumption?
That he's in a WAR ZONE when he doesn't have to be. He can get 'the news' by other means. Like I said, it's my opinion. Deal with it.
ABC is not about news, only propaganda that is useful to their cause, with a little infotainment to keep your attention. For example: The positive turnout for elections in Iraq was news, hence, not something you might see on ABC. The riots in France were mostly muslim youths. Again, not something you would know watching ABC
