Newsweek-Koran: a case study in misguided outrage

May 17, 2005 by Igor Volsky

The Newsweek bash is a smokescreen. Previous accounts of ‘cultural defamation‘ and religious abuse have been widely reported. American corporate (and for the most part conservative) media chooses to focus on the messenger, not the message. They have also ignored our president’s culpability.

The deaths that resulted from the story are tragic. I just wish that American reactionaries would extend the same sympathy to the thousands of innocent civilians that died as a result of Mr. Bush’s inaccurate and illegal Iraqi invasion.

Full coverage on Friday 4-6pm.

    A study by the military has found no evidence to support newsweek’s claim. Even the source of Newsweek has stepped back from his claim. For your information, the newsweek article was in reference to Guantanamo. At the end of your rant, you try to use emotion to smokescreen your inability to make a sound argument by involving Iraq into the issue.
