Newsweek does it again.
From Mudville Gazette.
Not only did Newsweek print the statement of an anonymous "official" that caused riots and death in Afghanistan, it has now turned around and compounded this, repeating more rumors, knowing full well the results of the first one.
At what point does this cease to be ignorance and start to become malice? It's no secret where Newsweek/MSNBC stands on the war.
If a newspaper in the deep South of 1950 printed something from an anonymous source stating that a certain black man had raped a white woman, does this qualify as responsible journalism?
How about if they do it again after a black man had been lynched?
