Say It Ain't So Already

There’s “the Media,” and Then There’s the Media

I read somewhere last week that it was possible that Blackwater, now known as Ze, had been hired to protect the reporters and crew of a major television news outlet while they were in Haiti.  Whether or not Blackwater is involved, the likes of ABC, NBC, FOX and CNN undoubtedly hire (or bring their own) security personnel when they go to a place like that.

Meanwhile, there’s the other media:  Over the weekend, Amy Goodman of DemocracyNow! traveled to Haiti with at least one other person, Sharif Kouddous.  Here is a picture of their, ahem, “hotel” room which Kouddous posted earlier today. Not exactly high-security, Blackwater-esque.

(But DemocracyNow!’s reporting beats the big boys any day.)
