Incompetent and seemingly uninterested in becoming more competent.

I think there have been at least two New York Times reflections on what went wrong. The first one was disturbingly self-pitying, IMO (of course it's hard to report from a war zone! that's why there are more people applying to work at McDonalds than to report from a war zone! it's the job they took on). The second one gestured towards saying "we should have done xyz instead" -- but, as an apology /or/ a commitment to do better next time, it didn't seem to have much energy.

Why should it? Headline grabbing gets clicks and views, sober reporting, not so much.
