WOW so much fury about a guy and a camera! One would think that the Emperor is naked and nobody noticed until now.

Yep, sending Joe (I will use his nick-name, I like it when people use mine) is a media-stunt. If the MSM was not threatened by this it would feel the need to react so violently.

A big dog doesn’t growl and bark at every passerby, everybody knows that it can get the job done if it needs to protect the homestead. The little dog is the one making the noise, trying to convince people that it really can do the job when the time comes.

MSM and it’s dupes haven’t caught on to the fact that their credibility is shot. Too many failures of fact, too many opinions, too many outright lies for any thinking person to count on as a source of information. Except as a window into the thinking of the Coastal Grandees the MSM (dead-tree and television) borders on useless.

BTW, what IS a journalist? Other than proof of parting with so many dollars and hours of time what is a degree in journalism? Why then are the MSM to be considered demi-gods when Sarah Palin is to be excoriated?

The reporting out of Iraq and Lebanon is the past few years has shown they don’t know anything about checking sources, military affairs of any sort, field work (Green Zone Babies – lattes at noon and AQ stringers doing the work) or the much touted “perspective”.
