When it's Al Qaeda who is doing the torture it doesn't make Page One
Don Surber has a hilarious take on the mainstream media's coverage of the Al Qaeda torture story. An excerpt:
What was Amnesty International’s reaction?
cricket chirp
Yet Amesty International just 3 days ago called for the US to close Guantanamo Bay.
Where did USA Today play the torture book story?
Not on Page One.
Where did the New York Times play it?
Not on Page One.
Where did the Washington Post play it?
Not on Page One.
And yet such false stories as the “flushed Koran” got widespread play in the newspapers and on television.
But read the whole thing as it's very funny.
