Do you have a link for this?

They are still protecting their source who gave them the bad info. Reporting using unnamed sources is not reporting. It allows you to say anything you want, then when called on it, you say, umm.. my unnamed source was wrong.

Pi$$ on Newsweek!

"Lebanon’s most senior Shiite Muslim cleric on Sunday said the reported desecration of the Koran is part of an American campaign aimed at disrespecting and smearing Islam. "

Well I'm not sure about "smearing" but if the goal is disrespecting, it's working pretty well.

One fake story in Newsweek and Muslims murdered dozens.

Once it became clear to Isikoff that some of the information from their source was incorrect it seems they chose to ignore the warning signals and go with the slur against our military anyway.

[Peace will be here soon]

"In its issue dated May 9, Newsweek had reported that U.S. military investigators had found evidence that interrogators placed copies of Islam’s holy book in washrooms and had flushed one down the toilet to get inmates to talk."

Unless it was a miniature edition, this is physically impossible. I guess the editor lost all common sense. But this was a Newsweek story, so that is a given.

NEWSWEAK liberalism at its finest, how deep are their liability pockets?

Appears this is nothing less than journalistic malpractice.

Newsweek Lied. People Died.

Haven't you heard the latest - this is the administration's fault - just ask the morning mamma shows. What we need is a Federal Department of Editorial Oversight. Yes, I'm talking about federalizing newspapers - all of this privatization has led to this - the loss of lives. Maybe McCain, Hillary, and Ted the Swimmer should set up a task force and develop a secret plan to get rid of this privatized media once and for all.

Too little, too late, Newsweak. Damage done. People dead. And, I am afraid, more to come.

This is exactly what many here have been hollering about for months/years. The hateful, no morals, can't get the facts then make them up, yellow journalism today will be the death of America.

What these publications have to understand is that if they lose their credibility they lose their audience.
In the future if you hear any story from either Newsweek or the N.Y. Times quoted will you believe any of it? If not then why waste your money buying it. You won't.
Biased non correct stories? Sounds like make believe and I don't go for make believe.
