He reminds us what real journalists should be doing:
"We haven't done a very good job at educating the American public about our role in society. Our role is to find and report the truth. To minimize the harm, yes, that's a possibility that we can do, but also to be independent.
"We are not organs of the government, we are not organs of the media. We are independent. And we're to provide this perspective to show both the good and bad that happen in war. And both happen in war, especially in Iraq. It's a very complex situation."

No, just the monkeys are in town. I'll bring the bananas if you bring the powder.
Do they have nothing better to do? Actually, I know the answer to that.
Have fun little ladies!
Actually, recording conversations and reporting on them verbatim is journalism.
But attempting to educate us with AL's folly is not.
Did you notice AL's pet ape? Is AL becoming a simianist?
What the hell are you talking about?
Posting over the internet? You are delusional.
Austen Tayshus called me and abused me. Three times. I wrote about that, as it was totally unacceptable and probably bordering on harassment. A crime, by the way.
I know the facts don't matter, but that's what happened. I didn't record any conversation. End of story.
You finished being Austen's little helper now? You're spreading lies, not that you care.
I have to say I fall on the side of Antony - Tayshus even brazenly admitted that he called him (AL) up to abuse him - then couldn't understand why he was smeared. Idiot.
