Very admirable, but he totally misses the point.
On his second post about the Lebanese taxi apparently bombed by Isreal being a hoax (and talk about beating a dead horse) He says "Well, we know now beyond doubt, thanks to Zombietime, that the story was completely false".
I had to post a comment, and I'll be interested to see if it's published. Here's what I wrote:
Um, no we don't.
Here, ladies and gentlemen, is the real truth. Mr Bolt is a lazy, inept journalist.
Here we see his absolutely brilliant journalistic mind at work: Take one source and treat it gospel truth.
The Zombietime people just look at photos and surmise the outcome. It is hardly irrefutable proof that what occurred is a hoax.
To really tell if this occurred, you'd need to travel to Lebanon and interview people from both sides of the conflict, interview observers and witnesses, analyse the metal around the hole looking for burn residue.
But if you are happy to report a biased, unfounded and quite possibly false piece of photographic comparative analysis as truth and demand an apology from other sources who report a different truth, then that's your problem, not mine.
However, you're the one being paid as a 'journalist'.
Then again, you're not really a journalist, are you Mr Bolt?
Just like owning a guitar is not enough to make you a rockstar, you're just being paid by a newspaper to put your words on a page...
