Newsweek? How Many Divisions Does it Have?

The subject is Newsweek and media bias in general. And VeriFrank nails it:
It has been said by many historians that during the early days of World War II that the most effective General in the Soviet Army was “General Winter”. This week with the worldwide rioting in Islamic countries thanks to a erroneous report in Newsweek of US Army interrogators in Guantanamo Bay Cuba desecrating the holy Islamic text, we’ve seen an indication that the most effective remaining General in Al-Queda is “General Media”.

Does it strike anyone else as being interesting that the only time the vaunted “Arab Street” came out to fight was because of a story reported in the western media? What does this say about their view of their own media who have regularly and repeatedly made the same charges?

Anyone who still thinks that “Main Stream Media” doesn’t have an leftist agenda in its reporting is simply not paying attention.
Read the whole thing, especially the last line.
