Lies, Damned Lies, and Journalism

Why does Tony Zumbado still have a job?

During the emotional outburst that was the MSM's Katrina coverage, he described the conditions in New Orleans to MSNBC's Alison Stewart.

STEWART: Tell me about the sanitation.

ZUMBADO: The sanitation was unbelievable. The stench in there . . . was unbelievable. Dead people around the walls of the convention center, laying in the middle of the street in their dying chairs. . . . They were just covered up . . . Babies, two babies dehydrated and died. I'm telling you, I couldn't take it.

Gripping story. Only problem is, it's complete and utter fabrication. There were deaths at the convention center, but nothing like the scene of mass horror described by Zumbado. He exaggerated the story and communicated false information.

So again, I ask. Why does this man still have a job?

I utterly liked reading about Slublog: Lies, Damned Lies, and Journalism and think it was well worth the read. The only other site I found on Ask wasnt as good as this one, thanks.

I as well as my pals were actually reviewing the great recommendations located on the blog and suddenly came up with a terrible suspicion I never thanked you for those techniques. Most of the men ended up for this reason very interested to see all of them and now have very much been taking pleasure in those things. Many thanks for really being so helpful as well as for deciding upon varieties of great tips most people are really eager to know about. Our own honest regret for not expressing appreciation to sooner.
