Media screwup of the day
Apparently, the Washington Post is tired of Reuters getting all the airtime. One of their reporters goes out on a limb. The short version:
Sunday: Analysts tell me Israel is intentionally leaving rocket sites so that they have an excuse to wage war.
Monday: Those analysts ripped me a new one; they were talking in hypotheticals about various possible strategies, and did not say that Israel was doing that, only that it would be a plausible strategy.
Hmmm, I wonder how many of the other things that reporters have told us, citing unnamed sources, were simply speculation? And, unfortunately, Sunday's interview was on CNN's Reliable Sources, while Monday's was on Hugh Hewitt's show. So everyone, prepare to hear that Israel is intentionally letting rockets land in Israel whenever you engage with folks only peripherally paying attention; I think we've just seen the birth of a KnownFact.
