Schonfeld's Follies By Sisyphus 'He Wound Up Getting a Couple of People Killed' <<< SCHONFELD: But remember that a US tank rolled up in front of the Hotel Palestine which is where all the journalists were, right when we moved into Baghdad, turned the turret around, pointed its gun, and fired up at the building, and killed-- KILMEADE: That's what CNN reported. SCHONFELD: No, that's what is reported. The guy from Reuters was killed, and a Spanish journalist was killed. Nobody knows why. The US Army has never completed its investigation into that incident. At best that was friendly fire; they say they thought the guy with a camera was a sniper. So it happens to everybody.[emphasis added] >>> OK, I'm getting to the point where I think the reason journalists think that the military might be targeting them is because journalists have their heads firmly planted in their own 4th point of contact and just make sh*t up. The freakin' Army report has been linked at the CPJ site since November last year, for crying out loud! I'll ask again: "Why is the Palestine Hotel still being cited? Why is it cited without mentioning statements from Jules Crittenden, David Zucchino, Chris Tomlinson and Greg Kelly? Why no mention of the released Army investigation (pdf, 18.9MB)?" mudvillegazette.com amazon.com cpj.org Look, if you "journalists" want to blame the blogosphere because you lose your jobs after making incredibly ignorant, arrogant statements that are just factually wrong ... fine. You are doing this to yourselves. You've been giving away your credibility for decades. We're just holding up the mirror. sisypheanmusings.blogspot.com
