Folks like Walid Shoebat are NOT journalists... they are oddballs that are used for propaganda purposes, i.e., people who ostensibly are with the "enemy", but then turn around and provide stinging propaganda-ladden criticism of the same.  Journalist would sound like a representation of someone trying to separate propaganda from a useful story-info.  This is certainly not the role of Shoebat et al.  Maybe Useful Stooges??  Useful Stool Pigeons??

Hi Paul,

I was at the conference and can brief you more about this. Norman's role there was wholly positive in my view... --David 13:03, 4 Feb 2007 (GMT)

about useful fools

Folks like Walid Shoebat are NOT journalists... they are oddballs that are used for propaganda purposes, i.e., people who ostensibly are with the "enemy", but then turn around and provide stinging propaganda-ladden criticism of the same. Journalist would sound like a representation of someone trying to separate propaganda from a useful story-info. This is certainly not the role of Shoebat et al. Maybe Useful Stooges?? Useful Stool Pigeons??
