I watched Wolf Blitzer today. He led with a story about the US launching a “major” attack on Fallujah using AC 130 gun ships. An LA Times reporter set him straight. The Times reporter said that AC 130 gun ships had carried out similar raids every night for the last two weeks and on the scale of 1 to 100 this one was about a 50. Blitzer ignored him. He had pictures after all. Look at those things blowing up. If that is not a major attack, I do not know what is. Throughout the day CNN carried on with the same headline. Other networks were equally guilty of running equally sensationalist headlines. However, they did not have someone correct them on air.
