And here is another. While Newmaxs is trying to blame other media outlets for the following. I found that they were the only ones to run with the following last week. I think that they are beneath scum for attempting to get this started while our troops are in harms way. I personnally do not want to read anything by Newsmax. This really tipped the scale.
Media's Mission Accomplished: U.S. Troops Now Called 'Baby Killers'
I can't find a thing wrong with that story. What the media was doing with the prisoner abuse story should be looked at. Admittedly, the NM story was not in depth, and the mere mention of the baby-killing slur will inflame or mislead some cursory readers already so-disposed. But the article's title makes clear where NM is coming from.
In general I don't go as far as you about NM. But I've seen enough loose ends to read them scrutinously. OTOH, they've broken many stories by being willing to be the first to go to print. I think they are a valuable service which could be a lot more valuable.
Actually, the info in that story came from Andrea Peyser's column in the New York Post. You can blame Newsmax for rewriting the story, but you should also blame the New York Post for running it in the first place.
