Media Research Center doesn't know basic grammar
"Which way is it on Osama bin Laden being dead or alive? To CNN, it’s both. CNN featured this text in an on-screen graphic on Tuesday afternoon: “Experts Agree: Al Qaeda Leader Is Dead Or Alive.” The insight appeared during a story from Pentagon reporter Barbara Starr about the hunt for bin Laden, whether he is dead or alive and how al Qaeda can operate with or without him."

OK, hold on for a second there. "Al Qaeda leader is dead or alive" does not mean he is both dead and alive, it's means he could be either dead or alive, bunch of nimrods.

...of the "Experts Agree" part. Because if they did agree, it would be one or the other.
