The video is from March 2006 - It's not really breaking news or anything, but it's part of painting created by Matt Drudge to smear Micheal Ware into a Drunk Anti-War Activist.
You have to be careful where you get your news from on the Internet. Michael Ware, a CNN correspondent laughed at McCain
a few days ago on CNN because McCain painted a rosy picture of Iraq. Ware corrected McCain by saying there was indeed no neighbourhoods that could be walked through safely.
To McCain's credit he went to Iraq to take a look for himself, however he proved Michael Ware was correct since McCain needed
100 Soldiers, and some helicopters to ensure his safety while strolling through a random Iraq neighbourhood.
So Ware was right...So what suddenly gets leaked to the press?
The Drudge Reports <i>"McCain heckled by CNN reporter
Sun Apr 01 2007 13:50:38 ET
During a live press conference in Baghdad, Senators McCain and Graham were heckled by CNN reporter Michael Ware. An official at the press conference called Ware’s conduct “outrageous,” saying, “here you have two United States Senators in Bagdad giving first-hand reports while Ware is laughing and mocking their comments. I’ve never witnessed such disrespect. This guy is an activist not a reporter.” "</i>
Or course the Drudge report doesn't name sources, or provide links to additional information, in fact they don't even keep permalinks of what they say. This headline will surely disappear soon. But the damage has already been done.
This blogger did a little research, he gives you a visual representation of how the media will take this Drudge report and let it become news.
Did anybody ask Michael Ware what happened?
CNN did of course, according to Ware he was never even asked a question.
My response to Drudges claims that Ware is a Drunk anti war activist? Living in Baghdad for 4 years, will probably turn anybody into a drunk anti-war activist.

FedquipJust an update on this post, Sure enough Drudge was proven wrong and the post was removed from this website. Olbermann reports briefly

Goofball_Jonessays...Is Drudge still around? I mean, it shows you the power of the Internet when this guy, who's nothing but just a 3rd rate blogger (compared to the quality blogs that have sprung up after he started his) gets famous for nothing.
He wanted so desperately to be taken serious, but when his sources are mainly just anonymous nuts that email him with "news", he's nothing but a joke. Oh, and when was the last time Drudge went to Baghdad to "report"?
Pfft....moving on...
choggiewasn't mike ware the cunt that rported live, from an enemy sniper position, as a marine was killed???
Cocksucking punk.....burn in your own hell-
IssykittyDo you have anything to back up that allegation choggie? It sounds like you just pulled that one out of your ass, honestly.

He's a cunt, a filthy fucking cunt, plain and simple.
FedquipHe's a reporter not a soldier, shouldnt we expect reports from Both Sides of the war zone? If he somehow got access to hang out with terrorist snipers what would expect him to do? Again, I don't think Ware was actually reporting from the terrorist side, that would be ground breaking access, I think you, choggie are misunderstanding the narration as if Ware was actually with the sniper, but in fact he is just reporting what happened.
Either way, there seem to only be a handful of reporters who have been reporting from the War Zone, it doesn't surprise me that you hate them for doing so
rougyDrudge....
I guess the only way to make it big in America is to sell your soul and publish any rightwing rot you can pull out of your ass.
