"We’re neutral"

Newsweek to al Jazeera: “We’re neutral.”

al Jazeera to Newsweek: “Yeah..(snicker…snicker…) we are, too!”

Story:

Just days after Newsweek “retracted” its Quran-flushing story, a top editor with the magazine seemingly backed away from its flat-out retraction, telling the U.S.-hostile al-Jazeera network that Newsweek was “neutral” on whether Americans had desecrated the Quran.

In a May 19 interview with the Arab TV network Al-Jazeera, Newsweek’s Washington bureau chief Daniel Klaidman admitted the magazine made a “mistake” in publishing the story, and promised: “In the future, we won’t make these kinds of mistakes.”

The Al-Jazeera interview with Newsweek was translated this week by Memri.org – the Middle East Media Research Institute, a non profit group that engages in “original analysis of political, ideological, intellectual, social, cultural, and religious trends in the Middle East.”

The Memri transcript shows that Newsweek was cleverly telling millions of Arab viewers there story may still be true – they just did not have the evidence to support their original allegations.

The Al-Jazeera reporter asked Newsweek’s Klaidman, “But there is no proof that it (the Quran desecration) did not happen either.”

So al-Jazeera wants proof that the incidents did not happen? Interesting. While most anti-American entities think we should treat the savages detained in Gitmo with an “innocent until proven guilty, despite what your lying eyes show you,” these same entities think that it is incumbent upon America to prove that the lies spun from al Qaeda’s propaganda training manual techniques MUST be disproved…in other words, guilty until proven innocent!

Yeah, the al-Jazeera Terrorvision Network…good and reliable, independent and balanced, unbiased and objective!
