Erratum: There was no hostage human shield around Gadhafi's compound.
Facts: Reporters were bused in by government officials to survey the wreckage of Gadhafi's bombed compound (Gadhafi's attempt to gain sympathy), the reporters were quickly shown in and out of the sites, and then shoved back on the bus. Some civilians were present at Gadhafi's compound as well.
The Fox News (surprise, surprise): Gadhafi bused in civilians to form a human shield to protect his compound from allied forces.
Seriously. We do not have time for bad journalism. Thank you Nic Robertson for clarification.
