CNN Correspondent Goes Ballistic Over Fox News Libya/Human Shield Report


I do not hold up CNN as a paragon of journalistic virtue, so make of this what you will.
Below is the video and a few paragraphs from the report CNN Correspondent Goes Ballistic Over Fox News Libya/Human Shield Report.

CNN correspondent Nic Robertson has a bone or two to pick with Fox News, which reported today that he and other journalists were used by the Libyan Ministry of Information as human shields, in a successful bid to block a coming, second attack on a compound in Tripoli, supposedly controlled by Qaddafi.

“[T]his allegation is outrageous and it’s absolutely hypocritical. When you come to somewhere like Libya, you expect lies and deceit from a dictatorship here,” Robertson told Wolf Blitzer. “You don’t expect it from the other journalists.”
