  • @tomwatson A journalist should be skeptical. Your adverse and unwarranted inference from that is far more indicative of political bias. - 13 hours ago
  • @tomwatson WL counseled caution over similarly uncritical reportage on Gaddafi. - 13 hours ago
  • @tomwatson This amounts to saying "how can you - how dare you - care about the facts in the wake of a massacre?" - 13 hours ago
  • @tomwatson Nothing he said indicates "rejection" of a citizens' movement. It indicates that he believes the FSA is not above reproach. - 13 hours ago
  • @tomwatson In the absence of caring about the truth of the matter out of 'sensitivity,' a politicized reading is left unchallenged. - 13 hours ago
  • @tomwatson c.f. BBC photo. Is it that we are supposed to hold off on caring about the truth of the matter out of "sensitivity?" - 13 hours ago
  • @tomwatson There are already well attested misrepresentations of the details of the story. - 13 hours ago
  • @tomwatson Right. And anyone who wears shoelaces (like Stalin) is also evil. Questioning the details of the story is desirable. - 13 hours ago

  • @tomwatson It was the right thing to immediately question *reportage* over the Houla Massacre. - 13 hours ago
  • @tomwatson My argument: you misrepresented *questioning reportage* as *support for Assad.* That is not criticism. It's distortion. Own it. - 13 hours ago
  • @tomwatson You don't see the Kuwait incubator baby incident happen time and time again without developing these instincts. - 13 hours ago
