The Reuters Lie: "Supporters of Lebanon protest outside Israeli consulate in NY"
Oregon Magazine ^ | July 19,2006 | Larry Leonard

Posted on 07/19/2006 9:18:33 PM PDT by WaterDragon

The Reuters photos (on Drudge and at the link destination) showed various signs held by middle-eastern types. You know what the guy looked like. Dark skin, short dark hair and the stubble of a black beard covering the bottom half of his face. The signs said Allah Will Destroy Israel, and Islam Will Dominate.

The problem is that headline. It is unlikely that Matt Drudge wrote it. It is almost certainly a Reuters product. It proves what critics of this European news service have been saying for years -- namely that Reuters is a source of leftwing propaganda, not journalism.

Supporters of Lebanon? Hogwash!

Islamists and Democrats are brothers to the bone.

They're trend-setters. The scruffy, 3-day stubble look is so in right now.

People who protest for the enemy should be considered enemy combatants. There's no difference between them and Joseph Goebbels.

And I thought I was the only one ticked off by that headline. It obviously should have read "supporters of Hezbollah"

Drudge is turning into a liberal and an enviromentalist. His stories sure having been leaning that way. He certainly isn't the first site I head to for the breaking news.

Drudge is a sensationalist. He's the yellow journalist of the internet. His site gets a lot of stories out there, and reaches millions. He has forced the MSM to cover some things they'd rather ignore. On the whole I think he plays a constructive role in the dark world of journalism.

However it seems as if his selection of news items has changed to a liberal tilt. Maybe it's just my perception but I do believe it to be true.

How about that swastika in the Israeli flag on that sign? Amazing.

The problem is that the photo is one of many, and many of the protestors have flags of Lebanon painted on their faces. They *are* ostensibly rallying in support of Lebanon...regardless of true motivations.

The AP photo on another Drudge link, about the Israeli bombing of the hezbollah command bunker, without irony is captioned as damage to a mosque under construction - the hezbollah party line.

They just say whatever the terrorists order them to say.
