Merry Christmas MSM! As our calendar year draws to a close, we have many MSM blunders to laugh about. Most have been "purged from the corporate archives" except those who helped expose the original blunder (FR included). This MSM Blunder of the Year Candidate hit in early February 2005.May we never forget John Adam and the MSM who so eagerly brought him before us.

Special Ops Cody isn’t a regular GI, and he’s no ordinary Joe. Special Ops Cody is a star. The $39 action figure apparently kidnapped in an insurgent hoax to drum up American alarm has done well for himself: He’s selling on eBay anywhere from around $100 to more than $230, and he’s even scarce to be found downrange. A blurred photo posted on a Web site Tuesday by a group called the Mujahedeen Brigades was alleged to be military man John Adam, whom Iraqi insurgents pledged to behead if coalition-held prisoners weren’t released. The U.S. military, however, denied that a...

I can't help seeing a connection between the election and the "GI Joe" hoax. In 3 days, the Iraqi attitude toward the "insurgents" has gone from fear to defiance to ridicule (assuming the hoax is getting the play over there that it's getting here.) That can't be good for recruiting. Meanwhile, Iraq's police and army seem to have turned a corner as well, in the opposite direction.

By now, you've all seen the horrible atrocities Iraqi insurgents are willing to do to U.S. soldier dolls. But checking through my archives, I've uncovered evidence that dolls previously thought to be "defectors" may have actually been kidnapped by DUmmies in an attempt to sway US elections. This disturbing photo is from the web site, "Sorry everybody," purporting to show a US soldier mourning JFKerry's loss in November:

ALBUQUERQUE, NM (Talon News) -- A photograph posted on an Islamic web site is apparently that of an action figure and not a U.S. soldier being held hostage. Liam Cusack, the marketing coordinator for Dragon Models USA, said the figure pictured on the web site is believed to be "Special Ops Cody," a military action figure the company manufactured in late 2003. "It pretty much looks exactly like the same person," Cusack told CNN. On the Islamic web site, CNN reported, a group calling itself the Al Mujahedeen Brigade, posted a photograph of a man it claimed was a captured...

Saddam Hussein and his murderous regime were symbolically toppled with this week’s free vote in Iraq. Meanwhile, back in America, Democratic Party sweetheart, Senator Hillary Clinton, fell down and went boom at an event in Buffalo, New York. No doubt, it’s been a pretty tough week for terrorists, Saddam, and their liberal cheerleaders. The terrorists pulled off their only pre-election homicide bombing by strapping a bomb to the back of some guy with Downs Syndrome. I think this is the terrorists’ way of giving a shout-out to all the liberal infidels in America, by demonstrating that they’re committed to non-discriminatory...

A militant group's claim that it had kidnapped a U.S. soldier in Iraq and planned to behead him was suspected of being a hoax Tuesday, after a California toy manufacturer said photos of the purported captive on an insurgent Web site appeared to show one of its collectible dolls. A group calling itself the Mujahedeen Brigades posted a photograph that appeared to show a stern-faced U.S. soldier sitting at gunpoint before a black banner with Arabic script. The posting called the soldier "John Adam." U.S. military authorities said aspects of the photograph raised doubts: The soldier's vest, for instance, resembled...

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Iraqi militants claimed in a Web statement Tuesday to have taken an American businessman hostage and threatened to behead him in 72 hours unless the Americans cancel this season of American Idol. The posting, on a Web site (http://www.reuters.com/) that frequently espouses terrorist propaganda, included a photo of what appeared to be an American businessman in a black tuxedo seated with his hands splayed inanimately in front of him. CBS News has confirmed the authenticity of the photo, or at least has not failed to not confirm that it has not been doctored in any way,...

Dan Rather was lucky he wasn't on the air when it occured because surely he would have breathlesly relayed the details. Many mainstream media outlets were duped by a picture of a toy soldier that was purported to be an American troop held hostage by terrorists in Iraq. Media outlets such as MSNBC and the Associated Press relayed the claims of the terrorists for two hours before they were shown to be false. As with Memogate, it was online message boards that found the evidence: At 2:20pm EST, a poster on Militaryphotos.net posted an image of the GI Joe action...
