"Carroll: How Dare You Question Our Reporting Source

Well, the Iraqi Ministry has a rule about police talking to the press, not bloggers in America (and he never spoke with any of us or any other news organization - just the AP.) And since it was the AP that revealed his name (three different versions of it, actually) in their reporting, Carroll's ire is hilariously misplaced here. His full name is provided in an AP article here, as is the evidence that the AP has repeatedly published this guy's name - in their own ink.

In the meantime, there is still the little matter of sorting through and nailing the AP for changing its stories by Hussein constantly, quietly and significantly until those new stories on the wires barely resemble the original stories. Still no comment from the Carroll regarding this. You can read 40 of those stories here, with some questions about each one.   ..........."

Thanks for the links, konane. Yet another once-trusted news source has tainted their reputation. What has happened to journalism?

Seems monies behind the media use it as a social(ist) engineering device to make the rich richer, keeping the average Joe in their place through use of emotionalism, fear, confusion ... emphasizing really important news about what star is doing who and what they were wearing at the time.

Why else would they be telling us what/how to think using carefully placed phrases, voice inflection, subtle nuance if they considered us intelligent???? For sure they don't.
