The media just doesn't stop the stupid

Postby BigBlue on Fri Apr 17, 2015 1:00 pm

Saw this today. Sometimes you just have to shake your head in dismay at the stupidity going on in the media.

http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/17/politics/missouri-national-guard-ferguson-protesters/index.html

To summarize:

We used a FOIA request to dredge up some internal National Guard communication that we knew would use standard military lingo so we could harangue them about it. We were happily surprised to find the NG leadership anticipated our tactics and were proactive in trying to minimize the military lingo, thus giving us a reason to accuse them of trying to cover things up too. Win, win!


Now I'm not necessarily supporting the use of the NG for Ferguson, nor criticizing it. I'm simply beating up the media for their tactics.

Why would they stop the stupid when they are the stupid.
I will never apologize for being an American.

At one time, journalism was a noble and ethical profession.
