"Their paths intersect when one used the other to further an agenda. "


I'll go along with that point, however isn't McCarthy saying, when he says ..."There's a problem here. But it's not insensitivity, and it's not media bias. Those things are condemnable, but manageable." ... that "media bias is manageable", therefore no big deal?

Isn't he saying we are wasting our time castigating the wrong people? Is he not saying it's only terrorism we should be concerned with? Don't worry about the press, we can "manage" that?

To: G.Mason

Thank you for the thoughtful questions.

Yes, we can manage the press AND still be concerned over militant islam. It is very simple to want to hold accountable both militant islam and newsweek. Mr. smug delusion (mccarthy) realizes this and fears the reaction this article has produced. He and his kind now have millions of editors peering over their shoulders. And so he refers to those that want to take action as smug, delusional, pathological conservatives. This is more than just an issue for conservatives. I know several liberals (many have family working or serving in the middle east) that are upset over this issue.
