Not everyone is impressed with Joe Wurzelbacher’s debut as a correspondent, and Pajamas Media deserves credit for posting a view from a critic: Pajamas Media » No-Joe: Wurzelbacher Is Not Edward R. Murrow.

If any person, whether a qualified journo, a sideline observer, a plumber, a (insert your choice here) reports an event as the truth, then thats fine by me. If their report is filled with lies, distortions and opinions based on poor research of the facts then they are certainly tools for whomever commissioned their view.
The mayor of my towns wears many hats, Here is a column he had published in a National Sunday paper. If you are anti-semitic, anti-zionist, you would call him a zionist tool. But he has the facts right, so he is no-ones tool, he, is fact, a reporter of facts and that makes him credible.

The first being CNN showing the terrorists sniper porn. Watching one of my brethren go down, writhing the way he did, knowing one of our own media entities actually came into possession of the tape, and 2 decided to play it.
Second is when one our dead warriors was shown being dragged in the streets of Mogadishu.
I am all for freedom of the press. But they have decided to dance on the side of evil. They forgot who provides their freedom. They point the finger at people who profit, all the while the don't see the plank in their own eye.

Personally, I didn't expect him to brush up on his speech and instantly become a well spoken correspondent.
Nothing can defy the overwhelming pro-Islamic bias in the media anyway, whether it's Netanyahu directly debunking BBC news correspondents, or it's Fox News correspondents trying to argue with pro-terrorists scum. You see in anti-Israeli protests vermin that's amazingly fascistic (like "Jews are terrorist", or "kill all Juice"), yet it's taken for granted /ignored by the MSM. Imagine if "Muslims are terrorists" were signs in pro-Israeli protests.

Joe needs to learn how to be a legitimate foreign Mideast correspondent.
He's lucky that it can be learned and done in three easy steps.
One. He needs an Arab buddy to supply him with fake videos.
Two. He needs to pronounce "disproportionate" properly and learn how to use it in every sentence.
Three. He needs to constantly lament the state of the "Peace Process" and blame Israel for that condition.
If he masters these lessons, not only can he be a certified journalist but he can be a diplomat too.

Joe Dude is just a guy riding his fifteen minutes of fame for all it's worth. Hope he gets paid, hope he doesn't let himself be tooled by everyone who's trying to tool him and I hope he keeps his soul. Sometimes the lottery doesn't give you actual dollars - it gives you an opportunity which is up to you to turn into cash/happiness/fame. Dude is just another guy who won a literal lottery.

I don't think Joe is any worse than most 'reporters' that "report" from Israel. At least he does produce some real reportings without relying on Hamas' and their tools' fed bullshit, and he is not pretending to be "unbiased", as more articulate and sleek slimy, MSM 'reporters' do.

Can't find him my ass, he's always in meetings with the Site commander about the new things that we've done to approve his land. Then the Camorra come back with, this was not done with my labors, take it down and do another contract.

realwest Mon, Jan 12, 2009 9:24:53pm |
re: #131 TheMole He can't be - he's not polished enough to work for the MSM and moreover he has this engaging (to me no doubt enraging to the MSM) habit of asking what I think the MSM would consider "inconvenient" questions - certainly about how the hell can anyone expect the Israelis to take to fall out shelters at seconds notice and WTH is Hamas doing deliberatley targetting civilians (by firing unaimed rockets at civilian population centers).
Plus he didn't go to "J" school.

Is it possible Joe is just playing a joke on everyone? He goes to Israel to cover the war as a member of the media and then states the media should not be permitted to cover wars. Can't we appreciate the humor in that? I mean, there is no way this guy can be as stupid as he appears, so I think he's just playing a joke on everyone. Maybe he is a leftist making fun of people on the right.

Joe is like "this sucks, I don't know how you people can put up with this!" "It makes we want to take retribution." Honesty. Common sense. Nothing wrong with that.

shiplord kirel Mon, Jan 12, 2009 11:06:36pm |
I think Joe rocks. The truth of this situation is simple, the facts embody it. Joe keeps it simple, sticks to the facts, and challenges the elite propagandists who do not. There are no invited inferences, no false appeals to authority, no loaded language, no misleadingly emotional imagery.
He is not Madison Avenue (the REAL heart of the media) and it shows. I think he does need some additional training (lose the "you knows" for instance*) but his reports are compelling. There is a lot more there than just a guy with his heart in the right place.
*God forbid that a plumber would sound as dumb as Princess Caroline.

I somewhat agree. If Joe doesn't take himself that seriously right now, then it succeeds in PJMedia getting some great attention, and gives people the perspective of an "average joe" in an exceptional situation. Could be kind of fun. Plus Joe gets a free trip to Israel.
However, there is potential for him looking like a huge tool and embarassing himself, which would suck. However we're all conservatives here and you make your own choices and accept the consequences.

I just read Ed Morrissey's thing. Could not disagree more.
And that certainly doesn’t give Joe the standing to deliver a lecture on how to provide war coverage.....
Why not hire Yon, Totten, Ardolino, or Johannes — hard-nosed and fair war correspondents who don’t employ bias and can actually lecture reporters on how to cover a war?
The standing? Excuse me? It all the sudden requires a certain "standing" to criticise media? Ed, are you out of your mind? You've just disqualified the entire Blogosphere and anybody who dares to have their own opinion. The common man doesn't need "standing" or "permission" from anybody, much less you- What, we have to apply to an official ministry now to speak out?
Why not hire the other guys? I dunno, why don't you start your own TV channel. Get your check book out and go for it.
I dunno, am I qualified enough to criticise you in the grand heirarchy?
