Our Reporters Could Be Worse…

…they could be as bad as the foreign newspeople who attend Central Command’s daily briefings. Glenn Reynolds pointed out this Weekly Standard piece by Jonathan Last, who ridicules the foreign press in the cruelest possible way: he quotes their questions in their entirety. An example:
“Kevin Dunn of Britain’s ITV News: General, going back to the friendly fire incident in which a British soldier was killed, his colleagues have said or found it inconceivable that the pilot of the A-10 was unable to identify the British armor, and he is said to have made not just one, but two passes over the column. In fact, they described his actions as being that of a cowboy. What do you say to the family of the dead soldier?”
As Last concludes, there is indeed a vast left-wing conspiracy.
