Daniel Schorr, at best a mediocre journalist but now revered as a “wise old man” in the business, recently wrote an opinion piece for NPR that claims that the internet was complicit in the Fort Hood murders.
Give me a fucking break. If Major Hasan had used a Underwood typewriter to type his correspondence with cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, should we blame Underwood for the deaths? Or Parker Pens, if the major had handwritten his letters? How about the stationers that made the paper?
Get with it, Schorr. Blaming the messenger is bad enough; blaming the media used is asinine. Murrow would have been ashamed of you.
