Desmond: Many of these news outlets, regardless of leaning, source their materials from the same people or groups, which means an intern went out on Google and looked up “bomb expert”.
They also share military “experts”, which is why I was granted the rare viewing pleasure of watching that complete moron Wesley Clark beclown himself on several networks. But, he’s telegenic, speaks in complete sentences and once wore an Army uniform with little shiny stars on it, so he clearly must know what he’s talking about.
He does additional duty as a “counterinsurgency” expert (a topic he knows exactly dick about) and “strategy” expert. On the latter topic, he is an expert. He developed and implemented an excellent strategy of affixing his lips to Bill Clinton’s ass.
