AFP Recycles "Quagmire" Story Twice in 3 Weeks
The Freepers caught the AFP printing the story once on December 4, and then again today on the wires. Allah has screenshots and a side-by-side comparison of the altered and edited texts of the same exact "story" - all done up with edits and a new 'spin' for the networks and newspapers to trumpet.
Here's the article on December 4, 2006. Here is is again in differnet clothing (but stupidly, with the same header) on December 26, 2006.
Paging Eric Boehlert! This hit job was done intentionally, for those at Media Matters who are paying attention. I guess that kind of media manipulation and dishonesty doesn't matter.
In addition, the "warbloggers" should just shut up and not notice or highlight these kinds of things. The foreign and composite organs of the mainstream media, after all, are the final and penultimate arbiter of honesty and accuracy.
Nothing to see here, folks. Move it along.
