Layers and Layers of fact checkers and editor – and GREAT reporters too!

For all of the media reports about the tragedies of Aurora, Newton, and Columbine, is it TOO much to ask of a national news anchor, CNN’s Carol Costello, to remember that incident of what the Obama Administration continues to label “workplace violence”?

“I used to work in Washington, live in Washington. This seems so unusual to me that a gunman could create this kind of havoc at a U.S. military facility,” Costello stated. “Have you ever heard of it happening before, Brian?” she asked correspondent Brian Todd, reporting live from the vicinity of the shooting.

Yes, that would be the “Allahu Akbar”  gunner from Fort Hood, dear.  You know, the dude that was waging a Holy War against his fellow soldiers to prevent them from being deployed against his fellow Islamic Jihadis.   Killed a bunch of people, hurt a bunch of others.  I would normally say “Get out of the DC Beltway and see what is really important”, but she’s supposed to know this stuff as “highly knowledgeable of the national Press and Journalism Guild!

And Congress is wanting to pass a shield law for “special protections” for these folks by effectively de facto licensing them as journalists simply because they get paid for this level of expertise?
