Native stringers for the New York Times

Some for the worst reporting in mainstream news media, will now carry the byline of native stringers of people of Middle East extraction. You can see that in the New York Times and the Washington Post. You see those stringers need to go out of their way to internalize the standards and biases of the White Man in order to become full-timer reporters. Look at this lousy article by Sam Dagher: "While human beings in Iraq were killing each other in huge numbers, they ignored the dogs, which in turn multiplied at an alarming rate. Now stray dogs are such a menace that municipal workers are hunting them down, slaughtering some 10,000 in Baghdad just since December." Notice that Iraqis are killed by other Iraqis--US occupation troops have not killed a single Iraqis according to Sam Dagher.
