CNN sets Fox News straight
Fox News reported that journalists from major outlets were brought to a Gadhafi compound in Libya on Sunday to document damage done from a coalition air strike. Fox News told viewers that, by going to the compound, the journalists allowed themselves to be used as "human shields" by Gadhafi -- coalition forces couldn't target that area again because Western reporters were there.

At least, that's what Fox News claimed. Yesterday afternoon, CNN correspondent Nic Robertson, reporting from Libya, went off on the Republican network, tearing the Fox News report to shreds.

civilians and press were in the way.
