I know that Tim Blair claims him as a friend, but the reporting style of Australian journalist Michael Ware has long irritated me.
To hear why, you should listen to his report on the state of Iraq on Radio National this morning. (You have to listen to it to get the full Steve Irwin-esque style of his delivery.)
He brings no sense of objectivity to his reporting, and in this he reminds me a lot of Robert Fisk.
Yes, the guy is a liberal hack and can't wait for America to lose. He has been caught red-handed prancing around with insurgents, without giving the authorities any tips on where they may be found. He is more interested in a scoop than exposing the murderers in Iraq.
ReplyDeleteA pathetic figure--Michael Ware, you're a phoney, and you have much blood on your hands.
