"The photo that started it all"

With the recent scandal over the New York Times censoring an article that dared to present an un-PC (and worse, un-NYT) viewpoint, I thought it might be interesting to take a trip back to the beginning of the intifada and how the Pravda of America has been covering the Mideast situation from the very beginning.
Take a look at this:

Looks pretty damning, doesn't it?
But wait:

"Regarding your picture on page A5 of the Israeli soldier and the Palestinian on the Temple Mount -- that Palestinian is actually my son, Tuvia Grossman, a Jewish student from Chicago. He, and two of his friends, were pulled from their taxicab while traveling in Jerusalem, by a mob of Palestinian Arabs, and were severely beaten and stabbed.
That picture could not have been taken on the Temple Mount because there are no gas stations on the Temple Mount and certainly none with Hebrew lettering, like the one clearly seen behind the Israeli soldier attempting to protect my son from the mob."

The rest of the story is here, along with the NYT's late and limp "correction."

Hey we can’t let the facts get in way of the propaganda now can we?

If the paper wasn't such poor quality, I'd use it for butt wipe paper.

FAIR AND ACCURATE REPORTING!!! Sheesh!!

I just heard today, that Israeli Cable is considering removing CNN because of their BIASED reporting which FAVORS Palestinians. CNN responded that the claim was "ridiculous". Well, I happen to believe it is true!! I'm sure it is easy enough to prove. Isn't there a group who does "Accuracy in reporting" or some such? I've heard them report how many times a news group says a certain word, or supports a certain view. I believe that is what got Dan Rathers in trouble. So the Israeli Cable companies should be able to PROVE thier claim.

I'd LOVE It!!

[KC Burke]

Good find. Again, firm evidence that the NYT and much of the leftist biased coastal media aren't conducting journalism, but instead, manufacturing opinion within thier readers based upon a Vision of the Annointed. (Sowell's phrase)

BTTT. The New York Slimes. All the news that's print to fit.

[MinuteGal]

Why doesn't the Grossman family sue the New World Order Slimes???? The grievous damage to this young man appears to be ongoing like the Energizer Bunny.

I havent heard that, but i do know that many of the cable stations are starting to carry Foxnews now because of CNN's blatant bias.

[Vets_Husband_and_Wife]

I know, we RARELY watch CNN, and when we do on those rare occassions, their BIAS is blatant. They don't even seem to realize how drastically their ratings have dropped.

Perhaps one day we will say CNN who??
