NBC's Engel: 'All Told Me It's Time to End This War'

During a recent dispatch from Iraq, NBC's Richard Engel made it sound like he had talked to every soldier in Iraq. He reported that "All told me it's time to end this war."

Wow! How in the world was he able to get the opinion of every soldier in Iraq?

The truth is, no soldier told him that. Instead, his story featured just one sound bite from a Staff Sergeant with the First Infantry Division who never actually said it was time to end the war. Apparently in NBC's journalism handbook, when reporting on the war the truth is optional--especially when the reporter has such a strong grasp on hyperbole! NewsBusters
