Joke The Plumber In Israel: Let's Get Rid Of People Like Me

Joke the Plumber is now a journalist. Some right-wing website sent him to cover the recent Israeli attacks in Gaza. As per the low thresh hold for Republican intellect, Joe Wurzelbacher continues to show the world what an 80 IQ is all about.

First off, Joe claims the media never gets it right, there's always something left out of the story. Must be the filter and bias he is alluding to.
"I think media should be abolished from, uh, you know, reporting. You know, war is hell. And if you’re gonna sit there and say, “Well look at this atrocity,” well you don’t know the whole story behind it half the time, so I think the media should have no business in it."
The media should have no business in reporting it? Then who should? What about all those great stories about war, Joe? Oh, war is hell. I forgot.

I think what he is saying is he should have no business reporting it because he is media's dim celebrity of the day, he is not a reporter. I'll give him credit for eliminating his own job as he is doing it. Does he show up for a leaky sink and say plumbers should be eliminated?

But getting back to Joe's stellar reporting. He must have some insight as to how the media only gets half the story. I mean journalism is all about cutting through to the facts. Maybe he can counter by showing how to ask real questions
While touring a facility of spent rockets with the head of the Government Press Office, Danny Seaman, and an official government photographer, Wurzelbacher provided smiles for the veteran journalists watching him at work.

"I have thousands of questions but I can't think of the right one," he said at the start of his interview with Seaman.
The Right Wing has accepted a clown for a President for 8 years, I guess they have no problem with a clown like Joe covering complex Middle East issues.
