Per Fox News...
The Korans were fake.
This is too little too late. The damage has already been done! What were they thinking? I know they wanted to bash the President but don't they have the knowledge to check things out before publishing them? In my genealogy research, we try our best to get dates, locations, relationships, etc right the first time. They should do the same.
LOL!
And, of course, the" "That's it..American is done for. I am moving to Canada! Democracy is dead!!!"
Question is - can they also retract the death(s) (present and future) that their article caused?
"Don' think so......"
Its being reported that all affected families get a free lifetime subscription and a sports bag.
We all know it anyway...Al Jazeera.
LOLOLOLOL!!
Too funny!
"Liberals": savage bigots who hate their country and lie for sport.
They've gotten away with this kind of stuff for 40 years. The worm has definitely turned for lefty journalists.
That should read NEWSREEK!
And he got it exactly right. Newsweek owes the American people an apology, not just those in Afghanistan who flew off the handle and caused the deaths of 17 individuals. The repercussions of Newsweek's idiocy could be lasting and severe.
The liberal left in this country has been responsible for the deaths of far too many Americans already. Their desire to shoot off their mouths with anti-American sentiment not only feeds the flame abroad, it provides the kindling and the matches. Americans die.
That would help, if you could find a fair judge and jury, and if they were sued into bankruptcy.
If every one of those clowns who said he was moving to Canada DID move there, the Canadians would have put up the wall we keep saying we need on the Mexican border. The Canadian version of FR would be crammed with articles about lazy, pot-smoking Americans who come to Canada to live off the state.
Should that read "Inventive Correspondent," for accuracy?
Here's how a real reporter used to cover a war.
"The liberation of Paris"
"A rifle bullet just whistled by and people are crouching down with their shoulders below the wall of the iron fence across the street from us." (Paris, August 25, 1944)(click to listen)
Who knows if there even was a source? I wouldn't put it past them.
If there is, I'd sure like to know who it is.
Its being reported that all affected families get a free lifetime subscription and a sports bag.
- This is an amazing statement. Said another way, "our low journalistic standards make a false story plausable to the ignorant reader". - TheCrusader
True. But I think he was really trying to say "We've gotten away with it before. The big question is 'why didn't we get away with it this time?'"
That's why CNN is getting it's butt kicked in the ratings too. They haven't a clue!
Bawhahahaha...but I think we need a HUGH rope like the ones they use to anchor ships with! ;-]
Actually I like to think I'm on the far right of the political spectrum and a little bit on the edge at times. Then I read DU and feel like a moderate :)
