Time Magazine Bureau Chief Not Exactly Objective Reporter

This makes me angry.
Here we have Time Magazine’s Baghdad bureau chief (Michael Ware) appearing on Bill Maher’s show – visibly drunk, slurring words and claiming to be drinking alot to forget about his odds of survival – engaging in some good old fashioned, wink-and-a-nod liberal hate of both the President and the mission in Iraq. This man, who is supposed to be a professional and objective observer in Iraq, sits there and cooperates with Maher as they both spread innuendo about massacarring civilians and U.S. troops mistreating Iraqi women and then sits back and laughs with Bill as the sycophants in the audience applaud the stupid, half-baked defeatist talking points being bandied about.
This is an example of the sort of people we’re supposed to get our news of Iraq from? This is someone whose reporting we are supposed to be basing our political decisions on here at home?
Give me a break.
This guy has his mind made up about Iraq and his negative view of the situation is the only perspective he’s going to provide in his reporting to the people here at home.
What reporting he’s able to do in between drinking binges, I guess.

    Angry?  Oh, come on, Rob.  You are neither that mentally challenged nor that naive.  Time magazine’s Baghdad bureau chief and sometime managing editor publicly living down to the standard of "professionalism" and objectivity set by Eason Jordan or Howell Raines… or Dan Rather or Mary Mapes?

    Obviously Mr. Ware didn’t regard his public descent into journalistic irrelevance as noteworthy.  Why should the rest of us?  The "Army of Davids" appear to be winning without firing a shot.

    And yet, in spite of all that suffering, all the hardship of not living in Dallas or Detroit, 2 out of 3 Iraqis stood in line and voted in this last election.  Lines far longer and way more suffering than anything gratuitously whined about in Ohio in 2004.

    Gee, must be something in the water.

    What I posted on exposetheleft blog:

     You should take down the clip link Ian, because it succinctly contradicts your distorted spin. But, it is early in the ‘Blame The Liberal Media’ offensive, right?

     You omitted phrases he used like ‘military investigation’ and ‘allegations’ to paint him as accusing US soldiers of misconduct.

     We did hear him describe <em>only</em> the bad news about being the average Iraqi: 2 hrs in the gas line, 3 hrs of electricity a day, dodging car bombs, etc.

     Can’t wait to see what the good news about being the average Iraqi looks like on Fox!
