Handling the Koran, Handling the WOT?
The MSM has sunk to a new low this week, not only by jumping all over a few minor, insignificant events where the Koran was not handled gingerly enough, but by misleading and hiding other facts. What is pathetic in this MSM lemming act is they have NOT addressed the much more severe abuses of the Koran by GITMO detainees, and terrorists in general. The blogosphere is up in arms (rightfully so) and the MSM is mindlessly trumpeting their own little Jihad (joke, really) by inflaming the radical Muslims. The MSM cannot even keep perspective, let alone objective balance, because they are on a mission to twist and distort the image of our fine and selfless fighting men and women. The American people will learn soo enough about this deliberate propoganda effort against us as a people, and the MSM will pay the price. The MSM is niave and ignorant to STILL think they can filter information and not get caught.
For a great round up of links and what was NOT presented by the MSM in the newly released report from the DoD see Michelle Maulkin’s classic compilation on this subject. One of the well known missing or minimalized bits of information the MSM has tried to downplay is this item covered in the Washington Times and alluded to at Michelle Maulkin’s site:
The findings show that al Qaeda and Taliban detainees at the detention center themselves mishandled Korans on 15 occasions, three times more than the military prison’s guards and interrogators. “These included using a Koran as a pillow, ripping pages out of the Koran, attempting to flush a Koran down the toilet, and urinating on the Koran.”
It seems the MSM’s liberal fanaticism, which is pushing towards its certain demise, is not done reaching rock bottom yet. But this will only hasten the time when true diversity and balance is returned to our news media. Newspaper Guild President Linda Foley has jumped the shark recently claiming this kind of biased propoganda is necessary to right the problems with the media today.
“The conservatives have got us, as a country, now believing that balance – giving both sides – is the same as truth, and there are some things that are just false.â€
Of course her problem is the MSM keeps getting caught lying to the American public to push liberal and anti-American garbage. America will probably determine there is another solution at hand. Get a new media.
