Fake Plumber Becomes Fake Journalist

Good stuff.

Why do I get the feeling he's going to be arrested for something really stupid while he's over there?

Move over, Geraldo!

i hope someone shoots this fuck.

Seeing that video made me miss Michael J. Totten. At least he was articulate.

Arrested or worse... I have a feeling that over there they will be less likely to look the other way the way we do here in the States for redneck antics.

I thought this was a joke.

No joke. Even NPR is reporting it. I was on my way home from Whole Foods with NPR on... took some effort to keep the car in my lane - sound bites of him playing.

Joe the whatever: "I'm a journalist."

Some dude with a gun: "I don't see any press credentials."

Joe: "Well, you see, I don't have those. But I really am a journ--"

R.I.P.

I guess you don't need a license to be a journalist either..

He's not a journalist. He's a mindless idelogue that a conservative website is sending over there to witlessly reinforce zionism. He's more of a tool.

I saw that last night. I figure he'll last about three hours spewing that shit.

Is it wrong to hope there is video footage of him being chased out of the country by a combined Israeli/Palestinian mob?

This is good stuff:



Joe the Plumber the Journalist makes a good point. Journalists should not report our troops' location. If the media didn't report that American troops occupy Iraq, for instance, the Iraqis would not know who those troops were. They would just ask each other, "Who are those foreign people in uniform with guns I keep seeing around?" Yet, without the media to tell them, they would just shrug and reply, "I dunno."

Also, Joe got an A in his history class at Revisionist High School. Go fightin' Negationists!!

as an Ohioan, i officially disown this man.

WOW. I seriously can't believe they went through with that. What a moron. I disown him as an American.

Some of Joe's comments...

What's asinine is a "reporter" reporting about a war by saying it shouldn't be reported on at all. Brilliant start to your new career, dumbtard...

First off, you weren't even alive during WWI or WWII, so you never saw the propaganda films in the theater. Second off, it was propaganda!!! (Apparently, Average Joe can't tell the difference between reporting and government fluff which, I should add, is illegal nowadays). If you want to feel good about the military and express your support, then just camp your ass on the tarmac and greet the soldiers when they come home, go visit them in the V.A. Hospital, and volunteer to help the vets that are coming back with PTSD... And in case you hadn't noticed, we still get dumb recruitment ads in the previews before movies anyways, so you can still rub one out to that if makes you feel any better...

Wow, "war is hell". Thank you for summarizing on the topic, anything more specific to add? No? Well, I guess atrocities should not be reported on, nothing to see here, move on. I guess getting no story is better then getting half of it then. Well, a journalist that refuses to report the news, not that is news. This is why we should leave professionalism to professionals and drop the dumb American schtick.

Also, Id like to see someone reporting while standing in front of all the spent ordinance that's been dropped on Gaza, American ordinance. Perhaps cataloging the location it landed, the cost of damage caused by it and the number of deaths and injuries caused by each weapon. What!?! You mean innocent people are getting killed by American weapons? Gosh, now that isn't even half the story...

Hundreds of journalism school graduates per year, THIS is the guy they decide to hire.

The place that hired him doesn't want real journalists.

Israel, I know you thought this guy would benefit your side of this conflict, but I'm embarrassed for you.

He's such an amazing interviewer:

Thank goodness he's so great at remaining unbiased and even-keeled.

he's... he's interviewing reporters.
