KNBC hit piece

KNBC Los Angeles aired a hit piece on the evening news last night, the target of which was Blackwater, a company that supplies security in Iraq and elsewhere for the U.S. and other governments, businesses and individuals who can afford it and have the need. KNBC offered no instances of Blackwater illegally killing or injuring anyone or of property damage. The piece was based on arguments, without evidence, supplied by left wing political activist and writers. It contained much speculation about what could happen if Blackwater became a private army controlled by conservatives like George W. Bush. KNBC offered only almost no balance. Listening to it, you could imagine Al Gore, John Edwards or John Kerry as author and moderator.
