And the surprise is...???

A two-fer....

Terrorist Media list

---

Many of the mainstream media apologists have conceded – and they had little choice but to do so – that many of the photographs of the Israelis’ response to Hez b’Allah’s act of war, were staged. The evidence of staging and Photoshopping is too public.


The media allowed itself to be used to defame Israel, stir up sympathy for Lebanon and halt the advance into Lebanon. But the concessions of wrongdoing stop short with digital alterations. Media spokesmen are still in denial about the biggest media fraud of all: the dramatic dead baby display at Qana. EUreferendum has not given up investigating the incident....

But this kind of behavior has a way of backfiring. The New York Observer recently noted that the New York Times demanded a full investigation and the appointment of a special prosecutor over Valerie Plame being named, and succeeded only in setting a precedent for compelling reporters’ testimony. That very precedent has now twice bitten the paper which led the charge to utilize every legal means to uncover the source of the Plame “leak.” Those media members which behave dishonestly create problems for themselves and others in the business.


The New York Times assertions about Plame and the release of the N.I.E. were false and one-sided...

The subject now is the media’s alleged mendacity and complicity with terrorists. Why does it think after its behavior in Plame or Rathergate or the leak of the NSA program, it has enough residual good repute to avoid either serious inquiry or our contempt?

In 1979, Anna Diggs Taylor became the first black woman judge to be appointed to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. Nineteen years later, she became the first black woman Chief Judge for that circuit as well.

Gee... what a surprise. A Carter appointment and a Clinton promotion.

[UglyinLA]

ooops. Wrong thread. sorry guys.

"The media allowed itself to be used",i don't think so!The media knew it and was trying to assist Hezbollah.
