Final Protective Fire

Sunday, May 15, 2005

Sent to Newsweek's editors:
Newsweek's ethics - or more correctly lack of ethics, are on display this week. Newsweek gives us an anonymously sourced article alleging desecration of a Koran by Guantanamo Bay guards. A story of dubious provenance designed solely to satisfy Newsweek's editors' pathetic need to smear the Bush adminstration in every issue. It was a story that never made any sense.
A dozen or more people are killed in the rioting that ensues.
And what happens? It turns out that Newsweek's "anonymous source" can't even read accurately whatever gossip he/she was repeating.
If Newsweek's staff had any integrity, they would resign in shame. But of course, they don't and they didn't.
Thanks for confirming my opinion of the worthlessness of your publication.
Signed,
Robin Roberts

You're spitting into the wind, Robin.

Not that I blame you.

It has been claimed that scientific revolutions succeed, not because the evidence eventually wins over the skeptics, but because the evidence wins over the students and they take over when the skeptics die of old age.

If the MSM ever stops shilling for the Left, it will be because the present leaders of the MSM grow old and die, not because they come to their senses.

You have a point, Kent.

But I admit, I'm stubborn.
