#1 I expect this will lead the news on CBS, ABC, and NBC? They have their anchors in place for on-the-spot interviews with protesters?

#2 If I were the son of Kadaffy Duck(great title for a movie) I would offer $10,000 for every foreign Journalist killed.

I mean who would do anything about it? Its just more news and you could walk scot free after you did it anyway. Nobody is going to bust a hump to remember a dead Journalist. Or investigate his death either, for that matter. I mean, who really loves a Journalist. Even their own mothers?

You with me on this? Do you think you would pause for even five seconds to regret the loss of a Journalist? Yeah?

#3 Actually, I would pause over the loss of a true journalist. There are some out there that do a very good job. Don't paint with such a wide brush.

#4 There are indeed, Deacon.

I might also point out to Dribble that Rantburg depends on journalism. We wouldn't exist without it. We don't have our own people reporting from Tehran, Cairo, Baghdad and Berkeley.

Good journalism helps Rantburg. Fred and the mods understand that.

#5 Bad journalism also feeds the 'Burg, for without it we'd be unable to entertain ourselves with pithy and righteous fisking of our credentialed self appointed ruling caste.

Are you really a mouth-breathing idiot, or is this merely the persona you adopt when commenting at Rantburg?

#7 Judging by the constant question marks likes it's some movie skit, I'd say just here. Talking like that in reality is bound to get somebody punched in the face after awhile.
