Why American Media Stink

I now know why American media stink. A major incident recently happened in the area I work. The coverage from the AP confused it and another incident in a nearby area. Worse yet, they claim that there was a reporter on the scene, however that is not true. Finally, they quote as a source a Captain, which is a relatively low rank, in the Iraqi Police from a neighboring town, which has no jurisdiction in the area. This is literally phoning it in. If the media wants to get Iraq right they have to get out and see it.
