		<description>Re Jeff Molby&#039;s comment

I don&#039;t think you really understand the situation.  Watada gave her an interview and she turned it into a glowing piece on &quot;this beautiful man of conscience in jail.&quot;  She took his quotes and reproduced them in her piece.  The question she will be asked in court is to verify that she represented his words accurately.  That&#039;s it.  When you ask how she could be called a &quot;propagandist,&quot; the general definition of that word is someone who writes a story from a pre-determined point of view and dismisses any contrary facts that veer from that POV.  We do have a lot of &quot;propagandists&quot; here in this country and most are employed at our nation&#039;s newsrooms.  And by the way, it is possible to be both malicious and stupid.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;So what is wrong with this woman? Just one thing. She isnâ€™t really a journalist. She is a propagandist. She doesnâ€™t want to go testify because she agrees with LT Watada, and those common beliefs are more important to her than what she sees as feeding ammo to the â€œevil-baby-killers-who-are-going-to-throw-this-beautiful-man-of-conscience-in jailâ€. She is just running around, projecting the image of a lone woman fighting for the truth and the soul of this country while being held in the clutches of the maniacal military-industrial complex. Sheâ€™s a left-wing politically biased advocate hiding behind a grotesquely built shield of pseudo-journalism;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&quot;Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.&quot;

Sure, it doesn&#039;t sound like her legal arguments have any basis. She doesn&#039;t want to testify and she&#039;s whining about it. How do you make the leap to &quot;propagandist&quot;?

If being wrong makes one a propagandist, we have a few hundred million of them in this country.</description>
