Three thoughts:

1. How many stories about the Clinton Administration did the ever-so-balanced MSM have to retract?

2. Do you think Michael Isikoff would publish anything any of us called up and told him that was not seconded or verifiable?

3. Does Evan Thomas wishes that he and his MSM buddies were able to deliver 17% to Kerry instead of the 15% they claimed they could?

I'm sorry, but Michael Isikoff should be charged with a crime of reporting false information.

Information that he knew was not verifiable.

There is no such thing as 'freedom of the press' when it comes to lying.

The aforementioned Marc Falkoff should not be confused with the American Enterprise Institute’s homonymic Latin American expert, Mark Falcoff.

Who you callin' homonymic? Mark Falkoff awmost kilt a man for dat!

The Left’s journalistic jihad against the War on Terror

No, they aren't against the war on terror. The staff of Newsweek is against the United States and all that it stands for and they enjoy inflicting harm on our country. They are in fact participants, albeit naive ones, in the jihad against the U.S.

Open question to all:

It is doubtful that President Bush, or the Justice Dept. can legally do anything about this story. But what if they selected to deny access to Newsweek to all Presidential press conferences, news briefings etc.?

The outrage from the rest of the press would be horrendous, but who would deny (other than extreme leftists) that the denial of access was not justified?

Admittance to such briefings is after all a privilege, not a right and actions have consequences. If Newsweek abuses their privilege and people die as a result, is it not reasonable to deny them the privilege of covering the President?

Michael Isikoff? Isn't he the "journalist" that had the BillyJeff & Monica story and spiked it? Naa, no way a credible journalist would pull something so blatant. Would he? That's what I thought, he sure did! Balanced journalism. Yep that's what it is.

Somehow, coverage of the Newsweek story has taken as fact that Newsweek is responsible for muslim rioting and muslim violence and muslim deaths. No. Newsweek may have reported in error (big surprise), but muslims are the only ones responsible for their behavior. Such out of control antics seem a clear indication of a sad place on the ladder of brain evolution. Pitiful, just pitiful. It may be time for the news media to shine a bright light on that desperate muslim mentality and to identify it for what it is: a blind, hate-filled effort to preserve its last excuse for failure. Or do the 24/7 news stations prefer to advance the notion that the Koran, above and beyond all other books ever written on the planet, Earth, must be protected and safeguarded against even a hint of abuse or disregard? If that be their position, it may be time for some serious full speed wake-up slaps!

One of the spokesmen from Newsweek stated that the riots were actually against the economic problems in that country and had nothing to do with the article. I guess all those demonstrators caring signs and s**t were confused. Newsweek is in denial. A news story from www.foxnews.com

The United Nations should seek the World Court's indictment of Mr. Michael Isikoff for mass murder!

Appropriate for this lifelong liberal!
