I'm Really Tired Of This Crap--Part II

"But...we swear it’s true—we just can’t prove it…really...it is..."

After I wrote I’m Really Tired Of This Crap early this morning, we learned during the day that Newsweek was qualifying the apology they issued on the “Qurangate” scandal over allegations that US soldiers were flushing Islamic holy books down the toilet in Cuba.

All day today the people at Newsweek followed the Dan Rather and CBS “journalism model” by continuing to represent their story as probable—claiming that they just didn’t have the sources to back it up. They also tried to continue to cite their “anonymous” sources and ridiculously blame their Pentagon sources for failing to deny the veracity of the background information when given the chance before the article was published.

As I said earlier, it was a lose-lose proposition for the Pentagon to make a snap statement without having the time to look into the matter themselves.

It makes me want to know what kind of a miserable bunch of bumbling idiots and morons work at Newsweek? Did they actually go to college to learn how to do this kind of journalism?

If so, someone’s parents deserve a tuition refund, I think.

Finally, late today, Newsweek issued a belated statement retracting the story entirely. The only problem is, the rest of the world that doesn’t have a free press and media probably still believes that the story is true and that President Bush put pressure on Newsweek to make the retraction.

And of course all of the leftists, conspiracy theorists, and other “barking moonbats” will continue to have their eyes rolled back in their heads while they slobber and drool and spit and sputter about the atrocities committed by the evil US military.

I guaran-damn-tee you that at least a few US soldiers and possibly some additional citizens will be killed or injured as a direct result of Newsweek’s irresponsible journalism in this matter.

I say all the Newsweek readers should cancel their subscription and spend the savings on the lottery.

What do you think?
