One women claimed she was raped six times every night.

Refresh my mind, exactly how much air time did Today expend on Juanita Broderick's rape claim?

Ok, enough is enough. I've had it.
We can say it like it is and call these arrogant elitists the traitorous little scumbags they are. But, I ask you, what the hell is going to stop them from continuing to spread their hate filled lies?

Dan Rather, CNN covering up Saddam's atrocities in order to keep their cozy Baghdad offices open, Abu Ghraib being made out to be the worst crime since the Holocaust, an AP photographer taking a close up picture of an execution of an innocent election worker that he obviously knew was going to happen, embedded reporters giving away our some of our unit's positions during the invasion, and now Newsweek blatantly lying and causing mass riots and death all because they can't stand to have a president who has an "R" next to his name. I'm sure that there are more examples but I've lost track.

The point is that every time the MSM does crap like this we all say we are outraged and call them traitors and scumbag criminals and nothing is ever done about it. In fact, their treacherous actions have only gotten bolder and bolder as time goes by. So, I ask, what exactly will it take for this to finally stop?

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is for charges of treason and slander to be filed against these elitist bastards. But I think we all know that there is NO ONE in the republican party who has the stones to even suggest such a thing; and if there was someone willing to do it the rest of the pubbies would turn their backs on him so quick it would make your head spin.

So, what can be done? Something has to be done quick because I'm afraid that the MSM will only get worse, and if allowed to continue their campaign without reprisal we will almost certainly lose this war.

What I see Newsweek doing was akin to pouring lighter fluid on to glowing embers that our Government has been trying to let die out. From the news coverage I have seen last night on MSM they are doing nothing to put out the new fire, at best just reporting on it and at worse adding just a little squirt hear and there with more lighter fluid.

If Lauer and the rest of the msm were interested in truth, they would remind viewers and readers that the US government provided these Korans to the prisoners. They would remind viewers and readers how the US military respected Islam, and tried to avoid bombing mosques. They would remind viewers and readers that it's the terrorists who turn mosques into battle zones. The US has bent over backwards to respect all aspects of the Moslem religion.

Lesson learned? Don't bend over backwards!

If the pages were used individually as toilet paper it would.

It could have been a small version (I understand that 1x2 miniatures have been printed for use as talismans) or the book could have been flushed down page by page

My understanding is that the ones at Gitmo were all standard sized for easy reading. The report of the detainee flushing pages to stop the plumbing as a protest, has not gotten near enough attention.

The media is turning a blind eye to this, just like they did dan blaTHer's 60 minutes of lies on President Bush's National Guard service.

I suppose now we can all say, with a bitter truth;

"...Newsweek Lied, People Died..."

I can't wait for Laura Ingraham and Rush today. This should be a great week for talk shows.

Mighty big *if* there. A substantial fraction of the people are very gullible.

Mornin' Sam,

Excellent post. You saved me a much longer post. :)

If I may add:

The Moslem countries believe in a one-man rule. By implication, the MSM is playing the angle: Bush "ordered" Newsweek to retract the story.

The illiterate masses are being played like a fiddle by the MSM. If these masses could think for a second about their own tyrants they will find out that the press under a tyrant couldn't have possibly printed anything like this without permission, an oxymoron at best.

Our MSM are exploiting the Moslem crowds’ ignorance in a bid to keep the story alive under the guise of "an intellectual discussion to get to the truth", something they never have to "retract".

The one and only news channel that has talked about the detainee flushing the Koran is...guess which one? FOX News. Of course we all know how biased they are over there. Thats why their ratings are so abysmally low. (sarcasm)

The MSM needs to be treated as an enemy force.

Worth repeating.

I was walking through the house and my wife was watching one of the BS channels last night. I don't remember which network it was, but the anchor was having a hard time dealing with the Newsweak story, and actually brought up the 60 minutes hit piece from last year.

I went into the bedroom and watched Fox, and within minutes, she had that on as well. She said it was so funny to watch the major networks having to "explain" the errors.

This has been going on for decades, not just here, but in the world press, and it has been Israel that is the object of their wrath.

These "news" orgs, are political organizations, they have successfully cast the Islamic cults as victims of Israeli and American power.

Which is why these cults have been able to roam the globe for decades murdering innocents with impunity.

Arafat, OBL, Saddam and Sons, have always been treated with kid gloves by the press, who take their cue from leftist European governments and pols, and the UN security council, and then use the Islamic cults as a proxy war against the US and Israel.

We must take on these faux news orgs, the corps, and individual reporters, destroy their reputations, and their credibility.

Their personal, financial, and ideology must be exposed.

"Lauer: "There is suspicion in the Muslim world. "

Matt needs to move and work there. His world view of hating the US would be at home there.

Did Lauer mention that MSNBC and Newsweek are partners?

Did he mention that Isikoff was a news analyst for MSNBC and a frequent guest on the Today Show and Meet the Press?

Exactly right. SEVENTEEN skulls.

One for each who has died (so far) as a result of the reaction to Newsweek's
LIE / FALSE story about our military in Guantanamo, Cuba.

SHAME on them!
