Liberals: "We Can Do Anything As Long As We Say We're Sorry"-(Newsweek says,"OOPS" and it's OK?)
MENS NEWS DAILY.COM ^ | MAY 15, 2005 | SHER ZIEVE

In front of a class of High School students, Harry Reid called President Bush a loser. Then, he said he was sorry. Then, he took his apology back. But, it was alright because he’d already given his sham regret. CBS broadcast a bogus story with bogus documents about President Bush’s Military service. When the fakery of the story was brought to light, CBS finally…sort of…apologized.

Now, Newsweek has published an article about our military men and women flushing the Muslim Quran (or portions thereof) down a toilet, in order to intimidate Islamic prisoners. However, the story was and is false! This time, however, the liberal MSM went too far. Newsweek’s bogus story caused Islamic riots against the United States, which are still ongoing, in Afghanistan and may be spreading to other countries. Apparently, there is no depth too low to which the anti-American mainstream press won’t sink; as long as its “stories” are anti-Military and anti-Bush. However, it’s alright because Newsweek has now said that they’re sorry they have caused a global incident! So, brushing off their hands, their editorial staff is on to their next story. And as the world-wide conflict over its fake story continues to escalate, Newsweek can say (with all appropriate condescension): “We said we were sorry. What more do the masses want?”

The problem, of course, is that the average Islamic Afghani, Iranian or Indonesian already believes the worst about the US and won’t pay any attention to the “apology”. I’ll venture a guess that the average foreign Muslim doesn’t read English and the fact that Newsweek’s story was false (and its attendant apology) will not be printed in any Muslim newspaper. They wouldn’t believe it, anyway. So, once again our leftist press has played into the hands of the terrorist enemies of our county. And once again, our MSM has joined hands with their Taliban, Baathist and Hamas brethren. Each, in their own way, wants to bring down the United States of America.

I do, however, have a question. Will the mainstream press EVER be brought to task for their actions? First Amendment protection does not extend to the deliberate faking of a story that, in turn, has already caused the deaths of at least fifteen Afghani citizens and has further placed the lives of our military men and women in jeopardy…lives that may be lost due to this latest MSM fiasco. The Newsweek story is just the latest in a series of mainstream press hate pieces…hatred for Americans. Will charges ever be brought against our MSM and leftist-leader seditionists? If there was ever a time that “Fire!” was falsely screamed in a theatre, this is it. If they are allowed to continue to get away with their sedition…nee treason…their actions will only become worse. Isn’t it time that someone with the power of law brought an end to this madness?

I would think that Newsweek would be permitted to reveal its source in this story, Thing is do they want to, if it is a hold over from another administration, they are probably a good source for dirt on this administration.

Still think it is from someone at State.

"If our America-hating press continues like this they endanger the entire country."

If you watched Hannity and Crapweasel tonight I assume you either fell over laughing or killed your TV set.

(Why, yes, there IS a pun in there)
