Hey ABC News, give the credit where it is due
Posted By Bouhammer on February 9, 2010
If you read http://abcnews.go.com/WN/stolen-valor-challenges-fake-medals-met-criticism/story?id=9779478&page=1 you are led to think that the local ABC station in Houston are the ones who broke the store on McManus (Stolen Valor Douche). Myself and many other milbloggers are amazed that not only did the local station, KTRK not give any millbogs credit for bringing this to their attention or the FBI’s attention, but they also used the “Wanted” poster that was created by a milblogger in their broadcast. Now the National ABC news website is running a variation of the story and giving credit to their local station.
In Houston last week, the FBI arrested a man who attended the mayoral inauguration with enough medals pinned to his chest to raise the suspicion of one retired military man who snapped several pictures and sent them to ABC’s Houston affiliate KTRK
No wonder most bloggers cannot stand MSM or what they do or how they work. I mean you don’t name the dozens of milbloggers that spread the word on this, but at least give credit to one or two. It is shameful and yet another reason why more and more Americans are turning to blogs and sites like the Drudge Report rather than MSM for their news.
