NBC and MSNBC that's who. And tonight, my jaw dropped open (again...) watching ol Chris matthews try to explain this one away. This one, which is going to take more American lives.
I'm expecting a major media effort to assert that the story is really true, even though it's been retracted.
Please publish the list here and please ping me when you finish the list.
remove the "not" in my last post.
After all, the White House did get OBL to make that video right before the election, so of course they got Isikoff to make this false charge.
Don't forget this trick that BS-NBC/Newsspeak played on the American people.
Have they done this with ANY other poll results?

Follow the "Editor's Note: This week, the online version of the Newsweek poll received an unusually high rate of response, with the clear majority of participants casting uniform votes. For these reasons, we believe the poll is being intentionally manipulated. In addition, we received an e-mail alert suggesting that the campaign is being coordinated by at least one special-interest group." link:

Treason is a crime. Let them swing like Lord Haw Haw.
It is mind boggling.....but the fact is we are winning....more and more American's are starting to see completely through the MSM (and the MSM continues to whistle by the grave yard and act like it isn't happening....but it is!!).
Unless she's moved in the last week or so, Robin Wright is with the Washington Post - the owners of Newsweek. She came to the WAPO from the LA Slimes in the past year. She fits right in with the WAPO bunch - Dana Priest, Dana Milbank, Ceci Connelly, etc., etc.. Liberal pukes all.
Exactly. As Cronkite revealed that Rove set up Bin Laden.
Because truth trumps fiction.
Maybe someone here can enlighten me. It appears obvious that whether or not Newsweek's folks got the story RIGHT (viz., one or more interrogator "dissing" the Koran), Newsweek--once allied or American deaths were linked to that line in the story--would have little choice about whether or not to retract. No retraction, more deaths (not that a simple retraction is going to halt the violence on the same issue, but NW could conveniently wash its hands after the retraction). And tho it's clear that some "journalists" don't mind bloody hands, allowing the violence to continue or spread based on their "report" would, one would think, expose them to enormous pressure from readers and other publishers.
For argument's sake, tho, suppose the allegation was false. Why did DOD fail to notice the line and challenge Newsweek IMMEDIATELY through other channels instead of waiting for the deaths to mount?
Is it possible that no one (DOD, various media, including NW) here believed that the mere mention of "desecration" of a book could cause such havoc? And having learned that it DID, why were "we" unanimous in blaming NW rather than the rioters?
That is what Hardball was all about tonight---trying to insinuate that there really was a story---even though there wasn't---
Chris is looking like Dan Rather still saying that those documents, though fakes, are real....??????
Sorry---I misremembered what paper she wrote for---but she is still a shill for the libs....
If the Pentagon spokesman had any comment like, "That's a damn lie," or "Your source is full of (bleep)," then Newsweak would have cried censorship or strongarming by the Pentagon.
In any event, I'm not surprised that many left/libs are blaming it on the Bush administration somehow.
NBC Nightly News spun this as the fault of the Pentagon, for not originally telling Islamikoff that the story was false.
Or maybe they'll say something like, "Though we do not have indisputable evidence to prove this particular instance - it could be true."
Seems to me that the father of the editor of Newsweek ran for president on either the Socialist or the Communist ticket.
I'll have to look back through some old notes to confirm that...
