What kind of coverage would you expect from these guys?

Disgusting behavior by an American TV crew in Baghdad reported by Justin Alexander, an American working in Iraq:

I went out onto my hotel balcony (overlooking the Palastine hotel next door where a Salsa class, of all things, was happening) lastnight, and began chatting to the American film crew on the nextdoor balcony. They told me with great glee how much fun they'd had earlier that evening lobbing bananas at the homeless kids on the street seven floors below... I had to dig my nails into my palms to prevent sending one of them sailing after the fruit.

Now, if they delight in tormenting hungry children, what kind of "objectivity" can we count on in the coverage we get from these yahoos?

Thanks to Riverbend for the link.
