Do newsreaders really believe their scripts?

[terrypin]

Watching the news about British hostage Alan Henning and the race against time to save his life.

Then the newsreader comes up with "British special forces don't know where he is"

Now I may be a little naive but do they really expect them(SAS/SBS)to divulge their plans and the hostage takers whereabouts? Idiots.

Who are the idiots?

The special forces for not knowing where he is or the news reader for reading the script?

Bizarre post.

Really?
