Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
One of the things the jihadists have been very good at is playing the MSM. I’ve always thought the turning point was when the Palestinians had the brilliant idea to make Hanan Ashwari their spokesperson. You remember that personable, educated, charming woman? She was everywhere, talking about freedom from the
Continue readingThis about sums it up: This is from The People’s Cube. Gates of Vienna picked it up, and I found it a Michelle Malkin.
Continue readingI don’t have to demonstrate it, because YNET news does. In the same vein, Gail, at Crossing the Rubicon, shows the WaPo’s fun little games with facts that will undermine Israel.
Continue readingI’m a word person. I’m very, very, very verbal and I prefer to get my information through reading. Maybe that’s why I’m so sensitive to, and really obsess about, the nuances news coverage about events in the Middle East. For example, there’s a BBC story boldly headlined “Palestinians killed in
Continue readingI heard bits and pieces of Mike Wallace’s creepy interview with Sean Hannity regarding the Ahmadinijad interview 60 Minutes scored. I knew how Wallace praised Ahmadinijad’s shoes and admired how well-spoken he was. I knew that these superficial attributes so impressed the superficial Wallace that he was unable to see
Continue readingOne of my favorite lines from Star Trek : The Next Generation was when the android, Data, gave his interpretation of Shylock’s famous speech: “If you prick me, do I not leak?” It was just so silly, it left me giggling. (I liked it only slightly less than Worf, the
Continue readingThe foiled bomb plot in England is again bringing into stark relief how the BBC manipulates the news to hide the Islamist component behind all the terror attacks worldwide and to focus blame on Israel. The most recent indictment is a Wall Street Journal commentary from William Shawcross, a British
Continue readingZombie has analyzed the various types of fake photographs emanating from Lebanon. He’s broken them down into four classifications which he carefully explains and proves. He then gives some guesses as to why we’re seeing major news agencies pass this material on to the world public as if it’s news.
Continue readingMy past few photograph posts have been following stories about Hajj’s decision to manipulate the photographs he took. Of course, that’s not the only thing that’s happening in Lebanon. Another huge problem is the fact that Hezbollah is faking entire scenes for photographers’ benefit. EU Referendum follows one such staged
Continue readingThe Times did finally run a story about the Reuters/Adnan Hajj photograph scandal. Instead of telling it as a story about media manipulation involving the major news story of the day, however, it buried it in the Technology section. It’s not a bad story, it’s simply a very careful non-story
Continue readingAs I’m sure you know by now, the story about Hajj’s altered photos is hitting the MSM. The most recent story I read comes from the BBC. I found two things amusing. First, this “are they just being polite?” moment from Reuters: Mr Hajj, a freelance photographer working for Reuters,
Continue readingNPR ran a short segment on the faked Reuters photos, using an interview with a Reuter’s photoeditor. It soft pedals the whole thing, including omitting any mention about Charles Johnson’s Little Green Footballs, which exposed the fraud; and letting stand unchallenged the photographer’s new claim, not that it was a
Continue readingBall bearings. Ball bearings aimed at civilians are disproportionate force: The charred, dismembered bodies, and blood splattered against a stone wall, turned the stomachs of hardened emergency service workers. “Even in this war I have not seen a sight like this,” said Eli Peretz, an ambulance driver. “The wounded people
Continue readingI’ve been getting a fair amount of hostile comments regarding an earlier post in which I discussed an AP story that accused half the American population for being delusional because it belived that Iraq did have WMDs. I’ve updated that post to support my belief that Iraq had WMDs at
Continue readingIt always amazes me when AP still pretends it’s a news outlet, rather than an anti-American propaganda machine. How’s this for an article: Do you believe in Iraqi “WMD”? Did Saddam Hussein’s government have weapons of mass destruction in 2003? Half of America apparently still thinks so, a new poll
