I was going to ask if you took a bull horn with you, then I saw the Doctor was present.

Doc Raoul has the world's largest bull horn... I've seen it for myself! ;-D

Ouch!

While you are attacking Newsweek you might want to include "The Washington Post"

Somebody on a thread said to send this guy to Afghanistan to apologize in person. Ditto that!

Newsweek may not do something as dramatic as that, but they will attempt to make a course correction. They will feel pressure from their space reps (the salesforce that sells ad space) and from the circulation managers.

Howard Fineman was on Imus this morning and I can't remember seeing anyone look so uncomfortable on TV since Geraldo opened an empty Al Capone safe on prime time.

The email letter to the editor I sent them -

300 Islamicists in Afghanistan want us to hand over those responsible for the Koran allegations. I say we give them you lot. You can explain yourselves and issue your half retractions to them, and see how understanding they are. US soldiers are through protecting the likes of you, and getting blood libels as their thanks.

FWIW.

I sent one too:

Subject: Congratulations Newsweek

I would like to congratulate Newsweek for erasing any doubt in my mind that the liberal media will stop at nothing to undermine the war effort. I'm sure that if it were Bill Clinton and not Gorge W. Bush, the media would treat the war differently. Where was this media during the Kosovo air war?

Putting that aside, I cant really blame the author of the fake Koran piece. After all, it was a small article barely covering half a page. He must have thought that it was just a little more Bush bashing. Everyone does it and it's just a small fabrication. He didn't intend for it to result in rioting and scores of deaths.

Your lie has put at risk the lives of the very people who guarantee your right to publish anything you want. In case you haven't noticed, bin Laden and company don't really value press freedom very much. I can't begin to imagine what the left seeks to gain from an allied defeat. The only thing I can see is it would make Bush look bad. For some like you at Newsweek, that is the most important thing.

For the record, I'd read Newsweek regularly in the past. This was the first issue I picked up in a few months and I have no intention of ever reading or supporting such trash again.

I can only imagine how people like you sleep at night.

The media is showing this picture all over the place.

The first things that strikes you is: the damn signs are in English! It reminds me of North Vietnamese propaganda "protest" signs that were in English, not Vietnamese.

The second thing that strikes you is: which issue do you guys want? Bush to apologize ???? (for a story that isn't true--as stated by the first sign!)

They should agree to turn over the "anonymous source" who made up the lie. Why is he being protected?
