A Tale of Two Stories

One basic set of information, two MSM outlets.

The LA Times headline is “Scant evidence found of Iran-Iraq arms link – U.S. warnings of advanced weaponry crossing the border are overstated, critics say.”

Newsweek’s is “Deadly Triggers – Is Iran providing devices that help insurgents detonate IEDs in Iraq?”

I seldom have anything nice to say about Newsweek. I think the way they have sported anti-American covers on editions sold in other countries is a disgrace, and I haven’t forgotten their Gitmo – Quran flushing story. It was eventually retracted, but not before providing Islamists with an excuse to riot, causing at least 16 deaths. But in this story, Newsweek treats the subject matter fairly, while the LA Times provides an editorial in a news article’s clothing.

The Political Pit Bull compares the two stories in a great post and concludes,

I guess it all comes down to the fact that some MSM outlets like The Times are so hellbent on proving everything the Bush administration claims as the truth to be false that they’re willing to deny–or at least gloss over–the actions of a regime that is directly involved in contributing to the deaths of Americans fighting in Iraq as well as known to publicly proclaim that the demise of our country and ally Israel is soon to come.

If you ask me, that’s a rather uncomfortable position to be in.

I wish it were. But I think that some MSM members are so far gone that they are beyond recognizing their position. They’ll keep at it, like Nazis in Skokie, far past the time that everyone else has realized that they have become a pathetic joke.
