Six Sunnis Burned To Death & Destroyed Mosques — Dubious AP Reports Followed Up By Michelle Malkin
Okay, one quick blog entry before the football game. Michelle Malkin came back from Iraq last week and has a followup on her investigation into the AP’s dubious reports of Sunnis being doused with kerosene and burned alive and destroyed mosques complete with a link to her in-depth article in the New York Post. I find it interesting that the arrogance of the AP and its supporters shows when someone comes along, attacked as a “non-journalist” often, and exposes errors and perhaps even fabrications (intentional or not) in their reporting by going directly to the source. With the AP’s recent history of fauxtography (e.g. - faked, altered and misinformed photographs) and shady sources out of Iraq, how can they expect the public to trust them. Combine that with many instances in recent years of journalists from major news sources faking stories, plagarizing materials and other unethical acts, it’s no wonder that an ever growing number of people are getting their news and information from multiple online sources in order to make certain of its accuracy. Face the fact…due to the unethical actions of a few (compared to the vast majority of respectable journalists) bad apples plus the rise of the online information age, the classic form of journalism as we know it to be is dying a slow death.
