“Joe the Plumber” takes on the media…again

posted 2:32 AM EST in Media

With an ever-increasing number of professional journalists finding themselves out of work or under siege from employer cutbacks, it’s a relief to learn that Samuel Wurzelbacher has arrived in Sderot, Israel, to finally show all those elitist media types how real reporting is done.

“You should be ashamed of yourself,” he told foreign reporters.

“You should be patriotic, protect your family and children, not report like you have been doing for the past two weeks since this war has started,” he said.

I’m of course in favor of citizen journalism, and I basically have no real stake in the specific conflict at hand (religious quarrels always made about as much sense to me as using jello for a doorstop), but come on. This is the best Pajamas Media could do? Really? This guy? Wow.
