According to Chez over at Dues Ex Malcontent the most insane thing that has happened in journalism and blogging is coming to pass. Remember Joe the Plumber – of course you do even though you probably don’t want to – well he has been hired by PajamasMedia. His job – to head over to the war in Gaza and report back and let Israel’s “Average Joes share their story”

For those that might not recognize the name PajamasMedia it is a mini-conglomeration of conservative new media. Now I tried to find anything on this at the PajamasMedia site but when I tried to search I ended up with an error page so I’ll leave it up to you to verify if this is indeed a fact. Mind you doing a Google search for Joe The Plumber is turning up all kinds of references to the story

If it is true I’m not sure if this could be consider a travelling comedy show or not. Joe the Plumber .. war correspondent .. wow.

Jewish Groups Protest Nazi Videos on YouTube, Removal of Gaza Bombing Videos on YouTube

Jewish groups in the United Kingdom and elsewhere are calling on YouTube to remove videos that allegedly glorify Nazi Germany.

Vidoes include historical footage mixed with music, and one video that suggests that Hitler was right.

At the same time Jewish groups and individuals globally are demanding YouTube reverse its decision to remove videos posted by the Israeli Defense Force showing hundreds of innocent civilians being killed in the Gaza Strip. Facebook groups and email campaigns have sprung up, with some calling the move by YouTube to remove the videos a blatant attack on free speech.

Hmmmmm….I let others draw the irony dots on this one.
