ABC’s website has a story up about reservists being unhappy in Iraq [1]. Not shockingly, CNN ran the same story. But let’s look at the author of all of this, and see if there’s something behind it all, shall we?
The guy is Jeffrey Kofman. Who is he? Well, here’s ABC’s answer. [2]
He has won several major Canadian journalism awards including the National Human Rights Award for a groundbreaking 1987 CBC documentary on AIDS discrimination.
Kofman began his television career at Global Television News in Toronto in 1982. He is a graduate of Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, where he studied political science. He was born in Toronto
The CBC? Uh-oh.
AIDS discrimination? Whoopsie.
Hmmm. Sounds like…. Yep, he IS. [3]
Militant homosexual, all the way. AND Canadian?
So, just so we understand this clearly…. he’s native to a country that’s to the left of the US politically speaking, and within even that context, is among the farthest left.
And we’re supposed to accept this report about troop dissatifaction, as unbiased reporting?
Add all of this to people bitching on the line being the easiest thing in the world to get on tape…(give someone a chance and they’ll bitch about anything…) and you need to pose some very serious questions about this report, and the politcal values that are behind it.
Hey, ABC…. did you think we’d not notice?
