After Fort Hood, another example of how ‘citizen journalists’ can’t handle the truth (via @anasqtiesh)
"For all the sound and fury, citizen journalism once again did nothing but spread misinformation at a time when thousands people with family at the base would have been freaking out already, and breach the privacy of those who had been killed or wounded. We learned not a single new fact, nor was a single life saved."
