Such seems to be the major complaint concerning Joe Wurzelbacher, whether as a plumber or as a journalist:
CNN Meet Joe the Plumber: PJTV Correspondent lands in Israel

Before Joe left he was interviewed by Fox and CNN, among others. The CNN reporter, particularly, derided the lack of the plumber’s professional journalistic experience. Yes, that’s CNN - the “professional” network that just yesterday broadcast a video of evidence of supposed Israeli brutality from a Gaza hospital that was entirely fake - a Pallywood production.
Considering the numerous demonstrated instances of such “fauxtography” from the second Lebanon War, Pajamas Media would like to know why CNN was so quick to promulgate this crude forgery? It would tend to be evidence of bias, even extreme bias, on the part of the network but perhaps it was just an honest mistake, the kind of mistake made by an amateur… like a plumber.
Indeed. Such an amateur might be taken in by obviously forged documents. Oh, wait, that was Dan Rather and Mary Mapes of CBS, the putative professionals.
Our local (cranial rectal inverted) “critics” take issue with the Joe’s observation that the professional press are both getting it wrong and endangering friendly forces. While such “critics” may find this novel, those who have read history know better:
I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as spies, which, in truth, they are. If I killed them all there would be news from Hell before breakfast.
Who knew Joe and Uncle Billy had so much in common?
