I am! The MSM is always quick the blame America first and more than not, reporting what they would like to have happened, a la, RATHER and CBS. Journalism is about the the five W's...Who Where When Why and What! Beyone that, I don't need their opinions unless a name is attached.

Your comment at 13 was despicable and if you had any class you'd ask that it be removed.

OUR MSM shouldn't be supporting anyone, or didn't they learn that in school?? They should report the facts, what happened, not their own opinions. It is rare today to hear anything but a POLITICAL OPINION FROM THE PRESS. That isn't supposed to be their agenda.

You were cheering at the prospect of American journalists being taken hostage by an armed force that is hostile to the US. If that isn't despicable, I don't know what is.

"Nikki Robertson?? LOL? "

I give Robertson a bit of a pass, because despite his Arnette-like reporting of the last several days, he is a journo who actually inserts himself into some insanely precarious situations, and does so regularly. Like for years.

He doesn't report "live from the bar of the Hotel Palenstine", he actually does go on regular embeds, and he does get out and about in Iraq. Quite an exceptional reporter.

In fact though I disagree with his occasional slants, he's probably the best broadcast war-zone reporter out there.

Has anyone heard from that Nasrallah character yet, since that bunker bombing yesterday?

Noone wishes ill for anyone else...no matter who they are. My comments are about an American press gone wild and manytimes totally incorrect in their statements.

You fooled me.

We can only hope those taken are from our MSM!!

Complain and criticize all day long about how various outlets and individual reporters report the news, but wishing that harm comes to them is over the line in my book.

No, they did not learn any such thing. If you had gone to journalism school you would know this (/Mallard Fillmore). In the highly left wing colleges, a far left point of view is assumed. No other point of view is tolerated.

Yes...I went, and studied journalism bigtime. You are right...today it is just about all left wing in our colleges and universities. That explaines a lot doesn't it?

If you can't translate babblefish to your native tongue in your head, you'll never be able to port between csh, bash, zsh, and cp/m command line commands. (or understand politicians)

If you actually want to do any of that... I've got the name of a therapist...

Aha, the MSMs fall victim to their own propaganda.

Hostages they will be, free they will not be.

The square they were filming was likely a key communication nexus for Hezbollah agents to communicate orders and directives, and they were unknowingly filming the Hezbolahs involved.

" We didn't mean to," wiener whining will get them all killed too.

No film crew should be loose about Beirut without an armed escort. One is underwhelmed by the naivete of the liberal media types seeking their individual fame and fortune in a milieu for which they have no skill or preparedness.
