Greyhawk has an update (see previous posts) that asks some pertinent questions.
The media defense of their actions generally takes some form of the argument that the public has a right to know all sides of the story. Here at Mudville we couldn't agree more with that sentiment. We don't shy away from covering all aspects of the War on Terror. With that in mind, we believe the public has the right to know:
How much does CBS pay it's cameraman? Do they pay a set salary or per video provided? Or only if the video is usable by CBS?
Were any American soldiers or Iraqi citizens hurt or killed in any of the attacks videotaped by CBS' cameraman?
Does he in turn pay the terrorists - or is he simply one of them? If so, how do the surviving family members feel about CBS funding the attacks on their sons, daughters, husbands, or wives?
If not, how do the surviving family members feel about CBS paying for video of attacks on their sons, daughters, husbands, or wives?
How do CBS' advertisers feel about their money supporting this effort?
Let's hope we get some answers.
Amen brother! These are some great questions.
