A++++ the D. xshub was ranting about this yesterday, he is all for heads rolling, and holding the media strictly liable for misinformation put in the stream of commerce that results in people dying. If Ford Motor Co. put out a product that resulted in death, you can bet the media would be screaming for strict liability against them. Information is their product, they need to be held accountable for it.
Their "Editor", Mark Whitaker, should be on a plane right now, flying over to those nations and apologising in person. Then (if he makes it back) he should go apologise to the President, the Joint Chiefs, and then an open letter to the troops. But somehow, I doubt he'll get around to it.
