In fact, having now read the link a bit better... I think this is good journalism. I applaud it. lord-of-shadow Send a noteboard - 15/07/2010 10:57:35 PM
Also, read it again: they are very careful to couch their report in a constant reminder that this is just what the guys claims. They start AND finish the article with statements that are clearly not in support of this guy and his claims. They're reporting pure fact, as they have it - this guy said that, this guy claimed that - and letting the readers decide the validity of this guy's claims themselves. That is the very definition of good journalism.

Honestly, I don't know what your reasoning is Wibble.

I suspect it is the line of thought that says giving terrorists airtime is justifying their actions. *NM* Ghavrel - 15/07/2010 11:32:37 PM 239 Views
