CNN INtl: Whoring up newsweek report

Newsweek has said sorry, over its story that US Soilders flushed the Koran down the toilet, saying this fact cannot be proven now.

Well CNN Intl has been running this storyoff and on for the past six hours, the right is going to use this, like they use the Dan Rather story over the election.

1. Did you see Carol Lin earlier?

She was interviewing someone from Newsweek asking, "How can readers ever trust anything Newsweek reports again?" :eyes:

Video - CNN's Carol Linn interviews Newsweek Editor about "Koran Error"

I had intended to post this interview when I saw it earlier today but I decided against spreading this little piece of propaganda for them.

Since it has already been mentioned here...

3. I wonder who they are trying to convince?

It won't mean spit in those countries that are outraged so is it Americans they are trying to convince this is all a 'mistake'? If so, why?

4. The Dan Rather effect

The RW is trying to discredit every media outlet which is not RW. They are deliberately fueling the distrust of the media so that the masses will not believe anything except what it is told by "approved" media outlets.
