I'm not sure if that would be wise or not. All we need is for them to start unloading the often used phrases like, "Well, Bush lied and people died, so what?" & "We aren't sure yet if this story was false, it's just that our sources got nervous."
Yeah, I'll take a pass on Newsweek "fixing" anything.
How about they volunteer to shut down and never work in the industry again.
I believe that the publisher, editors involved, and the writer should give an open air forum in Afganistan to explain to the masses what they did!
This violent reaction by "peaceful" muslims is only a preview of what is to come. There is no way there won't be more "incidents" that Islamic fanatics will exploit to instigate rioting anywhere in the muslim world. The focus on Newsweek's mistake (good chance that the report true) is off the mark. The real story is the extreme volatility around the world and the risk it poses for Americans abroad. And when will some Islamic plot bring about a calamity right here at home?
How 'bout we let them walk the Arab streets telling the truth without military protection.
In terms of remedying the damage done, this proposal makes sense. So of course it won't be followed.
The Muslims have their own media to stir up strife against Americans. Americans have their own media to do the same thing. Bastards.
Not a bad idea.
Let Whittaker and Isikoff give Al Jazeera an interview in an open-air forum in Pakistan. Maybe they could take Dan Rather along for star appeal. Eason Jordan can make the travel arrangements -- one way tickets should take care of it.
Better idea. Since the Newsweak article caused 17 deaths, why not that Newsweak should offer up the heads, for beheading, to the Arab world, of the author and the top 16 editors? Now that's a resolution that the Arab community could understand and work with?
Besides, Newsweak and the rest of their MSM allies are doing a stellar job shredding any last vestiges of their "credibility" with their laughable attempts to pin all the blame on the Administration. The public is NOT buying it - all they're doing is digging their grave deeper.
New-Squeak is attempting to ride out this storm by attempting to stick to the it's talking points of blaming everyone but themselves, while trying to appear "humble".
It's all classic "crisis management 101".
DON'T let them get away with it. Write to advertisers, Fox, Letters to the editor, Congress & other news outlets. Talk with subscribers and newstand retailers. Let everyone know that this outrage can NOT be tolerated. New-squeak lies, while we all die--and they get away with it...
Newsweek sucks!
