Media Union Prez Says U.S. Killing Journalists

Following in the soiled footprints of Eason Jordan who, without any evidence, accused U.S. Forces of intentionally targeting and killing journalists, the President of Communications Workers of America, Linda Foley, said the following:

"Journalists, by the way, are not just being targeted verbally or …ah, or… ah, politically. They are also being targeted for real, um…in places like Iraq. What outrages me as a representative of journalists is that there's not more outrage about the number, and the brutality, and the cavalier nature of the U.S. military toward the killing of journalists in Iraq."

"They target and kill journalists…uh, from other countries, particularly Arab countries like Al -, like Arab news services like Al-Jazeera, for example. They actually target them and blow up their studios with impunity…"

Obviously, Foley is just irresponsibly shooting her mouth off without adequate basis. And she has no evidence because it's not happening.

In a way, the mainstream media reminds me of the unpopular kids I remember from elementary school. They constantly made up outrageous stories to get the other kids to like them. When that didn't work, they tripped the fire alarm. I think the MSM are stuck in a do-loop between the outrageous story and the fire alarm, apparently having abandoned any intentions of objectively reporting the news.
