Reuters Knowingly Reports Lie About Binghamton Shooting -- The Taliban Did It
Newsbusters ^ | April 4, 2009 - 08:48 | Warner Todd Huston

Reuters published a story today, April 4, detailing some nonsense from a Taliban terrorist who has claimed "responsibility" for Friday's shooting rampage in Binghamtom, New York. The question that comes to mind is why? Why did Reuters imagine this idiotic claim, this obvious lie, was worth reporting to the world? Does Reuters not have the good sense God gave a door knob? Why would Reuters pass this Taliban propaganda off as news?

From Peshawar, Pakistan, Reuters reports that this Taliban leader wannabe has said that the murderous rampage perpetrated by an unhinged Vietnamese immigrant was done by his "men." This half-wit terrorist claims that he ordered the "men" to attack the U.S. because of the use of Predator drones that have been so successful in cutting out so many of those nits in their Pakistani strongholds.

But we all know this "acceptance of responsibility" is an outright lie. We may not know why Jiverly Voong went off the deep end, but we know he had zilch to do with Pakistan. So, why did Reuters think it a story worthy of reporting? There can only be one reason.

You see by telling us the lie of Baitubooolah Meshaweazel Muhammad something-or-another who is claiming he was responsible for the rampage Reuters can also promulgate anger toward our Predator drone program that has been so successful in killing these Taliban and al Qaeda scum-bags.

Reuters knows full well the story is bunk. But if it helps turn more people against the U.S. efforts to stop Islamofascist terror, well, that is a tale worth telling.

So, the upshot here is that Reuters posted a story that it knew was a lie and a story that had no value as news at all. The only purpose it served was as anti-American propaganda.

The real question is why we accept the idea that any terrorist attack on American soil is America's fault.

The cause of terrorism is the resistance to it? We are supposed to go belly up and accept our Islamic future?

Well, that's Obama's plan for sure.

“it helps turn more people against the U.S. efforts to stop Islamofascist terror...”

I am not sure why that would be. More likely, they did it because it distracts the public from the fact that the killer was himself an immigrant. The media does not want to deal with the fact that immigrants who have difficulting melting into our society are sometimes a public menace. If you confuse the issue by focusing on gun control and the Taliban, then you don’t have to report the real story. Obviously, they would like to portray it as ANTI-immigrant violence, as NY Gov. David Paterson seemed to suggest in his press conference remarks. But that just highlights the fact that it was an immigrant who committed the act, and they certainly don’t want that, so it’s gun control and the Taliban they talk about instead. Change the subject strategy.

Why not just take the route we will eventually see anyway? Amnesty.

Well, I will say that the Taliban rushed forward and said they did it, which should be reported.

However, of course, they had nothing to do with it, and it should also be reported that they are (a) dumb as posts; (b) the people to whom Bambi wants to hand over Afghanistan and Pakistan; and (b) they obviously know he’s their friend and they feel they deserve a little media face time now.

It appears that the Talibunnies are anxious to meet up with our armed might and are trying to inflame the American public in order to bring it about.

Have no fear, little Talibunnies, we are on our way and we are going to rock your world.

The latest Islamofascist lie is picked up and spread by the “news media.” Welcome to the Israeli condition.

We call it “al-Reuters” around here for a reason. They never miss a chance even if it’s a particularly silly one.

Hate to break the news to you, but we live in Omama world now and Bush is home on the ranch.

I'm sure very soon "rocking the Talibunnie world" will mean getting a Western Union telegram asking them nicely to be "Moderate Talibunnies" from Hillary and Obama or face even a harsher letter from the UN with six adjectives instead of two
