Media Hoaxes Du Jour

Little Green Footballs has a posted a video expose of a media hoax accusing the Isrealis of using chemical weapons.

And they also link to a Fox exposure of the Red Cross Ambulance hoax. Brit Hume is one of the few mainstream journalist with the courage and the honesty to shine the light of truth on his own industry.

Meanwhile over at Hot Air we get “E&P editor attacks bloggers over Reutersgate, misrepresents pretty much everything.” Greg Mitchell the editor of "Editor and Publisher" should really shut up. Now that people have access to original sources via the Internet, his kind of defense of the purity of the press is pathetic.

Here is a picture of a man whose world is coming apart and does not know how to deal with it. Denial is not working Greg.


Here is the essence of the MSM argument in a nutshell and tells you all you need to know:

I wasn’t at Qana, but Tim Fadek was. If he says photos weren’t staged, then that’s good enough for me.

This kind of "because I say so" proof of the truth once convinced the rubes, but to use this as an argument today is so sophomoric that it defies belief. Let me put it as gently as I can: if Tim Fadek told me that the sun rose in the East and set in the West, knowing he was a photojournalist at Qana, I would begin to demand more evidence.


UPDATE: It now turns out that "media watchdog" Greg Mitchell is editing his own bio to make his earlier journalistic lying seem less harmful. Greg, what are we going to do with you.
