Newsweek

This is what I fear may happen now. Let's hope not.

I fully expect the Newsweek story to be all-consuming over the next week, at the very least. It will be dissected endlessly on talk radio, on cable TV, in newspapers. And throughout all the discussions, the points identified above will be emphasized without end, so that all these ideas become more widely accepted by more and more Americans: that the riots were “caused” by the Newsweek story, that the mainstream press is basically anti-American and not to be trusted, and that something might finally have to be done. That would be terrible, but that rotten, traitorous mainstream media just didn’t give us decent, patriotic Americans a choice, did it? That’s how this game is played, and those are the stakes

This blog is one of the donkey's favorites. It has stuff the RDR would never print.

"Terry Moran's question: "With respect, who made you the editor of Newsweek? Do you think it's appropriate for you, at that podium, speaking with the authority of the President of the United States, to tell an American magazine what they should print?"

Elizabeth Bumiller's question: "Are you asking them to write a story about how great the American military is; is that what you're saying here?"

Thank youl, Elizabeth Bumiller."

Look , real questions, real reporters, media with a spine. Kinda like Roswell says.

Unfortunately, not enough cities say enough... ever. Sigh.
