The story is out of Denver? So what? I didn't see the CBS News version, so I can't comment on it. 12's version of the story was based entirely on the word of a 17 year-old kid. Shouldn't he be learning how to relate to members of the opposite sex or something, rather than thinking he's going to take down Uncle Sam?? The kid told the recruiter he's a drug user? Throw the book at him. That'll "learn" him, huh??
The problem with 12's story, in my opinion, was its one-sidedness. That brings the news director into the fray.
How could he/she allow the piece to air in that form? Who hired the news director? Does he/she watch the newscast? Why would 12 choose to air such a biased, anti-military report in Arizona, which is chock full of President Bush supporters, and the home state of John McClain. That's just dumb beyond belief, in my opinion. Anger/irritate the audience with "60-Minutes Wednesday" journalism.
That takes courage. |
