And why is that? One merely has to to read my posts over the course of this to see that I call abuse abuse and non-abuse non-abuse. I'm the sane one surrounding by a circle of partisans

Sabeghi's story as told is clearly abuse, but I can't say what really happened.

The police officer must be discharged without compensatory pay on the spot.
No way. He made someone very happy.

Secondly, you do know that citizen journalists have been instrumental in the past in unveiling the abuse of political regimes the world over, not the least in Eastern Europe. Plus, it is such an American way of asserting oneself, how can you right-leaning chaps be such biconceptuals about it?
That's where the disconnect is between us I think. This isn't Eastern Europe. It's America 2011. Here, citizen wannabee journalists mainly spout garbage and it's wrong to dishonour people who actually do good work by automatically elevating hacks simply because they meet the minimum criterion. Or maybe I can call myself a philanthropist because I gave a homeless person a buck last week...
