Joe the Plumber simply isn’t qualified to report from Israel, Gaza, Iraq, or anywhere else. He does not have the training or experience to understand what exactly a journalist needs to be reporting and how. For example, where are the “blame Bush” or “blame Republicans” angles? I have not seen his reporting unclude un unbiased look at how the policies of the Bush administration and his fealty to the Jewish lobby and neocons are to blame for Israel’s policy of killing innocent Gazans and freedom fighters who merely want self-determination by having their own state. And, where is the fair and balanced reporting on how Iraq was better under Saddam?

This guy needs to understand that there are narratives to be adhered to. Until then, he cannot be described as a journalist in any sense.
