I hate the people of the MSM. I totally despise them, they are are scum. I think they had better watch their back.
Slander, Libel and Incompetence the common currencies of the Left nowadays.
The Mission was Accomplished though.
Chalk up a win for the MSM,
SORRY is not enough. Stoning in Pakistan, a thousand lashings in Saudi Arabia, and the Al Qaeda/Zarqawi "knock-out punch" in Iraq for Isikoff and his editors.
OK, you can have them first... Just make sure you do a good job. :)

Good question. What allegations, true or false, will incide some observers to violence, or otherwise create a foreseeable risk of injury (like a "Fire!" report does).
At least two of the above are adequate justification for violence or foreseeably puts people at risk of injury? And anybody who falsely utters one of those things ought to be punished?
"Fire in a theatre," I doubt it. Sloppy, mean-spirited reporting, to be sure.
I am reminded of that story that Dr. Laura told about the person who goes to a rabbi to say he has spread gossip about the rabbi. The rabbi tells him to take a feather pillow to the top of a hill and cut it open and shake out the feathers. He does as he is told and the feathers scatter to the wind. When he returns to the rabbi to tell him he's done as he was told, the rabbi says now go gather all those feathers and bring them back.
Way to go Newsweek, these feathers can NEVER be reclaimed and people have died. Sadly I don't think the riots are the end of this either.
"They were careless people...they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made"
And now this story will live on forever in the Arab press - probably the whole point in printing this story.
Yep. Send every last one of those who had anything to do with concocting those lies over to the countries mentioned and let them EXPLAIN and APOLOGIZE to THEM! Also, let them explain and apologize to the loved ones of each and every person who died because of their lies.
The thing is they will never believe that the report was false in the first place.
But I have too much respect for the sewage system. Besides, the EPA has regulations relating to HazMats being introduced into the environment.
Bird cage liner anybody?

Ever try to flush abook?
You are correct, didn't pass the smell test.
I hope FOX at least will do a big number on them for irresponsible journalism, to say the least, and the deadly consequences. Every patriotic American should do everything he or she can to make sure Newsweek goes down for this.
Some enterprising lawyers out there should be able to find a few "innocent" family members killed in this mess and bring quite the claims against Newsweek. I'm not saying it would be easy to win, but it sure would provoke some interesting discovery.
Let the animal of the left's making, out of control litigation, eat them.
Why does anyone buy that sh**-stained magazine in the first place?
It's major news stories are pure propoganda, designed to denigrate President Bush or the GOP, whichever they feel needs it the most.
1. Glad to see another calm voice here.
2. From my perspective the Moslems could flush all the Bibles they want... my God is still bigger than theirs and is not contained in the Bible. It simply shows them as unreasoning hotheads.
3. As I said earlier: I doubt the Koran flushes easily so the story is probably incorrect.
