mccarthy is not focusing on the media overlooking anything. He is turning his crooked finger at conservatives (and others) who are upset at newsweek. He scrawls out- If you want to throw the off-switch for the cognitive part of your brain as many conservatives seem only to happy to do this week- then, by all means, that is the story you want to run with in this latest media scandal.
Who is being smug here? Not me. I've got friends and family serving in the mid east. I'm concerned about their well being. mccarthy has got a desk job that is endangered by the millions of new editors he has to answer to. And so he taps out articles like this one that are nothing more than a desperate smoke screen for the media. He implores - don't look at newsweek, look at those crazy militant muslims! Well, people are capable of looking at both.
I know who the enemy is... and I know their religion. You don't yell fire in a crowded theater and then blame the panic-stricken for the injuries they caused.
Yes. (Was a little thrown by the first line, tho--obviously a quote).
