Michelle Malkin » And now for some shoddy war reporting…from an NRO milblogger

Moreover, online journalists and bloggers can’t have it both ways: They can’t ask for mainstream media parity when their reporting is dead-on and ahead-of-the-curve–and at the same time hide behind the “well, I was just blogging” excuse if their reporting turns out to be as ill-sourced and wrong-headed as the legacy media’s. Also note: In one of the tainted posts, the headline isn’t “Blogging from Lebanon.” It’s “Reporting from Lebanon.”

Yeah. If the guy lied in his reporting, Katherine Lopez needs to come clean, admit it, apologize, and stop making excuses for the guy. Making up the news is making up the news, no matter what the ideological stance that news is being reported from.

Yes, all news is reported from some ideological slant. There is no such thing as perfectly unbiased, objective news reporting.

    About the only positive thing that can be said at this point is that it didn’t take NRO 4+ months.
