NewSPEAK and RATher are just two sides to the same coin...Newsweek and MSM are "embedded" journalists for Al Qaeda.
They further compound the crime, and I use the word quite deliberately, by now trying to somehow blame pressure from the White House, and the lack of correction from the Pentagon. If the Pentagon had said "Don't run that story!" the headline would have been "US Military supresses information about desecration of Koran." Newsweek would have been all over screaming censorship... but they didn't... and Newsweek did publish a story that was false. They claim they didn't know it was false, and didn't know what would happen when they printed it. Perhaps they don't know what they are doing, and should not be relied upon as a source of news.
"The magazine has since retracted the story..."
Retraction. Bah!
Editor Whitaker said, "We're not saying it absolutely happened, but we can't say that it absolutely didn't happen either."
I see. Whatever happened to happen, happened.
"NEWSWEEK and RATHERGATE"
A Newsweek spokesman reported today that their source was a "senior government official". They didn't specify exactly which "government", however. "Senor Government Official?: http://www.strangepolitics.com/images/content/3159.jpg
The twerp on Fidel's left gets around, doesn't he?
Not quite, the MSM has prepared their counter attack this time as is indicated in the Drudge Report of the White House Briefing today. They will do everything they can to "prove" the evil of the military and, in the process, get as many of their American enemies killed as they can. In what I have read today, the MSM has gone over the edge IMO.
NewSPEAK and RATher are just two sides to the same coin...Reimposition of military censorship during time of war is the answer. It worked in WWII. It can work today. Locking up a few of the worst of the MSMites on teh resulting treason charges would surely prompt some quick career changes and reformulated editorial boards.
