Lefty and Righty

Below “Lefty” takes me to task for insulting the MSM. And then he accuses me of dripping sarcasm in my posts/responses.
I have sat alone in the dark and become pensive over this whole issue, and I have concluded that I did indeed insult the MSM. And I have wept buckets and buckets of tears over it.
As to this issue of how reporting “from Ramadi,” or “from Haditha,” goes, primarily the MSM is holed up in Baghdad. They (the brave ones) travel to a site — sometimes — like Ramadi, set up shop on the outskirts of the city where the risk is reduced, and pay informants and other news sources for information about a locale. Then they report “from Ramadi,” or “from Haditha.” The more cowardly ones just stay holed up in Baghdad.
Michael Fumento, on the other hand, dons full combat gear, goes in with the boys who are there, and gives us a first hand look during actual combat (like Ernie Pyle).
Michael Fumento is the closest thing to Ernie Pyle we have. God bless Michael Fumento.
As for the MSM, I have wept buckets of tears over my insult to them.
You do believe my repentance, don’t you, Lefty? Buckets and buckets of tears.
