Fox News Journalists Still Missing
Fox News reporter Steve Centanni and cameraman Olaf Wiig, kidnapped by unknown terrorists in Gaza a week ago, are still missing. Frankly, the silence by the other media outlets is deafening. Michelle Malkin points out one simply sickening post by TV critic Bob Laurence:
Fox has deliberately set itself apart from other news media. Starting at the top with Roger Ailes, the Fox sales pitch has been to deride other media, to declare itself the one source of the real truth, the sole source of 'fair and accurate' news reporting. As a result, there's not a reservoir of kinship or good will with Fox on the part of the rest of the news media. You can't keep insulting people and then expect friendship when you need it.
They've made it a policy to keep a distance between themselves and the rest of the media, far beyond the usual competitive spirit, so that's where they are: at a distance.
That is contemptible. Put your politics and competitiveness aside and at least support these two men.
