UK Times Smears our Marines
Michelle Malkin.Com ^ | june 3 2006 | michelle malkin

But guess what? The photo, according to this Newsweek caption of the scene, is not of the Nov. 19 incident in Haditha involving our Marines, as the UK Times would have you believe.

Read the caption:

"Insurgents in Haditha executed 19 Shiite fishermen and National Guardsmen in a sports stadium."

Our Marines did not kill these people.

The terrorists did.

Its good to be alive to watch the demise of the main stream media.

This looks like the Duranty Foolitzer Winner for the Year.

And not surprising that another Times lives up to its name once more.

The British media are clearly even more lame brained than what we have here.
Anyone remember those pics from the rabid British rag POS, The Mirror, in which they picked up filthy pics from an Internet porn site, and promptly claimed they were US soldiers abusing Iraqi prisoners at Abu Gharib?
America-hating Euro-nuts, perpetually stuck on stupid.
They deserve every crap from their Islamo-facist pals.

Yep... they just throw so many TURDS agains the wall, in hopes that in the long run, a few will stick.

They figure we can only shoot down so much BS.

I was just on Michelle's site and wanted to make sure that this story made it over here to FR.

They try and deny that the error was intentional. Then why was the photo cropped to remove images of bound victims?

Jeez, I hate some people.

Answer: It was clearly deliberate.
The British media are beneath contempt.

I can see bound bodies in the Times photo. My impression is that it may actually be a second shot from the same reel rather than a cropped version of the same shot - the angles look slightly different to me. I don't know enough about what they can do with photos to be sure though.

Either way, lazy work from the guy who pulled the files pictures seems more likely than deliberate malevolence here, and it has been corrected now.

Cool, so this means our Marines didn't kill any civilians in Haditha.

Someone needs to inform President Bush, and get him to shut up.

The British "press" outdoes itself trying for the title of the Vilest press of all.

Lots of competition out there for them, though.

As conservative as I am - and as much as I appreciate other conservatives taking prominent positions within the media - I cannot help but think in general Michelle Malkin is just a right-wing version of those hysterical left-wing journalists. As is Ann Coulter for that matter. I think both of them at times border on being racist

Is Michelle anti - white? And I think Ann hates all despots equally. Lots can be said against both but I don't follow your remarks.
