In the Full of Crap Report this week, Laurence Simon takes a swipe at ABC News, and closely studies the possible meanings of the phrase “Bush makes me sick”. You’ll be surprised how many he comes up with.
Meryl Yourish, in "On Second Thought" shows us how to analyse media reports for anti-Israel bias. My personal rule of thumb? If the paper uses the word "Israel", it's going to be biased.And Andrew Ian Dodge, in the London Report, explains why Tony Blair, who is so wildly popular in the US, is decidedly not so in his own party.
The feature interview this week is with Ian Wright, Australian director of the Barnabas Fund, which works on behalf of Christian minorities in Muslim countries. For some reason he less less than enthusiastic about taking lessons on tolerance and respect fromIslamic states. Can’t imagine why that might be. Sign their petition asking for fair treatment here.
In Blog News, Jews apparently run America, according to a study produced under the aegis of the Kennedy School of Government, which has received a wave of popular support from such respected institutions as the Muslim Brotherhood and the KKK! Powerline has a thorough debunking of the myths, while in the UK, Melanie Phillips takes the news badly. She always does.
Transterrestrial Musings says the media is talking up an imaginary civil war in Iraq, while ignoring a genuine example of the phenomenon in the Palestinian territories. Why? Because they can't figure out how George Bush is responsible. Give them time. Meanwhile, Belmont Club's Wretchard says the switch of stories from "insurgency" to "civil war" is an admission of defeat by Zarqawi.Byelorussian bloggers are on top of the Soviet-style repression by Lukashenko in the wake of his rigged “election” victory. One is even translating LiveJournal entries from Byelorussians into English!
Gorgeous Georgie Galloway, one of the most vile excuses for a human being to ever disgrace the debating chamber at Westminster with his loathesome presence, sinks even further into outright racist name-calling, taunting Jewish-American hawk Richard Perle by saying “Show us the shekels Richard”! Hmmm, he must have been reading that report from the Kennedy School of Government. You can watch the interview at MEMRI, and check out the responses in the comments threat at Little Green Footballs.
A bunch of Somali pirates decided the cowardly kuffar would be no match for the followers of the Prophet if they brandished their weapons fearsomely enough, so they started shooting at a US Navy vessel with an RPG. Listen in the the podcast to find out what the end result was!
And from Austria comes the latest heartwarming tale of how Muslims are integrating perfectly into European life. It’s so impressive that I stage a walkout from my own podcast!
And right at the end, I play a cheery little ditty from Rico, who also writes from the Plus Ultra blog, about a nuclear war. Why? Because I can I suppose.
