    In reply to How ABC News' Brian Ross Cooked His 'Hasan Contacted Al Qaeda' Scoop
    Good work, Mr. Cook. There are some in this thread and in other threads who are criticizing you for devoting so much effort to painting Nidal Hassan as something other than a terrorist. I, for one, haven't come to this conclusion. You certainly aren't engaging in that kind of supposed moralizing here. You are simply calling out a well-known journalist who regularly appears on a nationally-televised nightly news program for a misleading, poorly-sourced, and potentially inflammatory report. It's received widespread attention and has already been misappropriated by those who would like use this incident as evidence for a broader Islamist conspiracy. It's unlikely that Ross will retract the story or even deign to provide any clarification. If the mainstream media refuses to enforce the necessary journalistic accountability, then at least we have lowly bloggers like you to point out the inconsistencies. #nidalmalikhasan

    ABC News has been a muted Fox doppelganger for a while now. Ross is just proof of this. #nidalmalikhasan

    Your nitwitted nit-pickery is awesome. The guy shot and killed over a dozen people. He did it in the name of Islam. He reached out to a radical cleric in Yemen. He's part of the storm on the horizon. Cry to Keith Olbermann, maybe you can get on MSNBC. #nidalmalikhasan

    @HandsomeBwonderful: Hey thanks for calling me awesome! "He reached out to a radical cleric in Yemen" is actually an accurate statement. Congratulations--you're a better reporter than Brian Ross. #nidalmalikhasan

    @HandsomeBwonderful: I figure starred commenters should actually be readers of the site, and if you read the site, you'd know that myself and many other Gawker writers have repeatedly criticized and mocked Keith Olbermann and that Gawker has been repeatedly attacked by him. #nidalmalikhasan

    @HandsomeBwonderful: Accuracy is important. Misinformation and misleading is just wrong. Remember when Judith Miller of the NYT reported that she had multiple persons reporting that they had found WMDs. Over 100,000 deaths later, and there are no WMDs. Words are important - they are tools to mislead in Brian Ross' hands.

    Plus, if that is your only way to define a terrorist, then we are ALL terrorists. You are an assumed Christian Terrorist. Didn't you sneer at the Muslims?

    There is a clear definition of "terrorism"; please don't try to redefine words so that they meet your small view of the world.

    I don't know how or when it happened, but I fell in love with GMA. I hope Cuomo takes the helm, Stephanopoulos was hosting all last week and it was pretty meh. #goodmorningamerica

    This goes along with the odd casting speculation of Cameron Matheson being in the running for the GMA gig.

    Admittedly, that charming hottie may get me to tune in more often but is an odd "news" choice. #goodmorningamerica
