Then these guys have the right idea.

And:
Spiked story was damaging to a Democrat administration.
Story that should have been spiked (but wasn't) was damaging to a Republican administration.
But, there is no MS media bias, according to the MS media.
Right. Because he realizes how damaging to our cause it could be. And for what? A brief moment of sensationalism? What Isikoff and Newsweek have done is traitorous and criminal. Like yelling "FIRE" in a crowded theater, their actions are not protected by the Constitution and so they should be criminally prosecuted, rebuked, and disgraced.
If some group of peole want to act like an explosive, that's bad. If some other people want to act like a match lighting a fuse, that's bad too. Both are bad.
(My wife might start a riot if they announced they were out of popcorn, and she is very devout. ;) )
I just survived The News Hour with Jim Lehrer and a brace of common 'taters who discussed EVERYTHING BUT that critical aspect of this. That is the real question which makes the real distinction: Why spike Monica and the johnson but run with Korans in the John?
Newsweek Retracts Story on Quran Abuse
NEW YORK (AP) - Newsweek magazine, under fire for publishing a story that led to deadly protests in Afghanistan, said Monday it was retracting its report that a military probe had found evidence of desecration of the Quran by U.S. interrogators at Guantanamo Bay.

Following the criticism, Whitaker released a statement through a spokesman later Monday saying the magazine was retracting the article.
"Based on what we know now, we are retracting our original story that an internal military investigation had uncovered Quran abuse at Guantanamo Bay," Whitaker said.

Mike Isikoff is now better known for his stories that 1) were spiked; or 2) never should have run in the first place.
QUOTE OF THE DAY!
Interesting how MSM stories, decisions, omissions, and mistakes always have one particular orientation.
I noticed Mike Izakoff was not on Hardball tonight. Ole Mike's one of Chrissy's favorite guests.
Another upper cut for the WayPo media.
That's because he is hiding like a good little elitist.
I just came back from the grocery store and all NEWSWEEK'S were pulled from the racks and piled in an empty basket! LOL!!!
Interesting timing on this retraction. Thread goes up, protest called for 4:45, hmmm.
terms, too. These FRAUDcasters have to be stopped.
NOW.
It is time for wartime censorship of these FRAUDcasters.
Perhaps this is not the time to be cynical. There are advertisers in this publication that we could write to. It would be better than making the expected jokes.
Maybe he'll call 911 and claim that he was kidnapped by a muslim hehehe.
Btw .. Chris Matthew is such a suck-up pompous buffoon :) Watching him interviewed Jean Francois Kerry before the 2004 election made me ill.
Oh THANK GOD they retracted the story. Now if they could just bring back all the lives that were lost?
Piece of garbage
I'd love to know who the scumbag is in our government putting out B.S. propaganda designed to undermine our war effort.
