Words don't incite

[JasonC]

They deliberately fished for and made up a report for the express purpose of inciting hatred of their own country on the part of the enemy in time of actual war. They are just dime a dozen typical commies.

[JasonC]

"to move to action : stir up : spur on : urge on"

[expatguy]

Considering that the majority of these people can't even speak english, I find that hard to believe.

Im not saying Newsweek was right, Im saying that they were not the ones who incited the people.

The incitement was brought on by Imran Khan and the Arab Media.

[JasonC]

They are the megaphone, the incitement started with Isakof who made it credible. The ravers over there rave daily, without these results. They were believed for once, and the reason they were believed is someone could point to an (anonymous) US official supposedly confirming the story. Which was a lie. And a deliberate one. Newsweek should just close up shop and go away, forever.

[JasonC]

If they were reporters first they would care about getting the story straight. They don't. They are commies first. All they care about is whether the story, if true, would be damaging to the US. If the answer is yes, they run it, the facts be damned. They'd photograph that ambush all right. Because they think it would hurt a war effort by the US. And the destruction of global capitalism requires that the US lose wars, not win them. The professionalism dodge is blown smoke, nothing else. They don't have a professional fingernail.

No, you don't have higher duty... you're a reporter

no, you don't have a higher duty...you're bottom feeding creature of the deep and dark.

[Royal Rife]

If embedded journalists started leaking the enemies plans to the US, the enemy would stop allowing reporters to follow them around in an instant. With the reporters gone, we're still going to get ambushed every other time. Of course, if it was me in the journalists shoes and I had the opportunity to maybe stop an ambush, I would probably go for it.

They're just journalists, they're not Americans

newsweek's journalism is about liberalism which is about socilaism which is about

doing whatever is necessary to take the property of others whether it be by lawsuit, tax. politics or falsehood

newsweek seeks to drive world anger against those that protect property rights

[Mr. C]

"Newsweek -- Reporters Before They are Americans"

Fine, then, they should all go live in Geneva ...

[conservativeharleyguy]

"Fortunately the legacy media's circulation and ratings continue going down the toilet".

Yes, that's true.

Unfortunately, but par for the course, people died as a result.

I heard NEWSWEEK's faux "retraction" on the radio this morning.

It was as self-serving/blame-deflecting as one would expect.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Treason and sedition, the journalist's standards.

[JarheadFromFlorida]

Newsweek is just another liberal ship going down in the deep blue sea.
