Americans are now routinely having to look to the British papers to get ANY sort of truth/competence in reporting of US news.
Our "journalists" are either cheaply bought or ignorant or more likely BOTH.
I'd sooner brag about being in street pencil sales than I would about being a "reporter" in the US MSM.
Ignorant little backward people.
US traditional journalism and media are nothing more than an embarrassingly sorry joke.
