In a way, I disagree, beauty.

Newsweek is a highly reliable representation of propaganda that the Facists are pushing at the moment. The magazine is a direct link from The Moron’s brain to the paper the crap is printed on.

And they are so stupid, it’s easy to see through it.

I do not consider Newsweek to be a reliable source of information. They are apologists for the jihadists and they wear, shall we say, tinted glasses (green?) on the issue of radical Islam.

Their previous articles:

“Why Mumbai Wasn’t India’s 9/11,”
“Learning to Live with Radical Islam”
“Why Fears Of A Muslim Takeover Are All Wrong; Analyzing the forecasts of an emerging ‘Eurabia,’ hostile to America and western values”

You have to admit, it is a pretty effective way to indoctrinate the unwashed masses. Dispel people’s concerns with unsubstantiated propaganda masquerading as “facts.” Then buttress those arguments by denouncing legitimate concerns as lies and collective indignation as manufactured. Orwell would be so proud!

Is that, “Newsweek” or is it, “Newsweak”?

Newsweek changes its mind about what consititutes civil war in Iraq:

Civil Bore
Renewed violence in Iraq looks like the beginning of a sectarian melee. It’s not

Early this morning, two truck bombs in northern Iraq leveled a small village and killed at least 48 people. It hardly came as a surprise: Friday saw the death of 44 people in a massive explosion inside a local mosque. In recent weeks, there were simultaneous attacks during Friday worship at mosques and Sunday worship at churches. Even Anbar province, quieted in 2008, has seen several small bombings this summer. The attacks, U.S. and Iraqi officials agree, are aimed at rattling the postsurge security here and to reignite the sectarian strife that raged a few years ago. They look like the kind of attacks that could spark a cycle of reprisals leading to civil war.

They’re not. Iraq today is a different place than it was when ethnic conflict threatened to engulf the country in 2006. For a combination of not-at-all obvious reasons, the powder here is wetter than it once was. It’s true that Iraq is still unstable and violent. (In fact, even as the overall number of attacks remains relatively low, bombings have continued even throughout the last year of relative calm.) Most of the bombings, which are carried out by Islamist Sunni insurgents, target Shiite Muslims, just as they did in 2006. But they haven’t elicited an escalating cycle of reprisals.

The only thing different between the motivation of those committing violence then and now is who was POTUS, and of course the purpose behind Newsweeks “reporting.”

And I’m glad Newsweek finds daily suicide bombing “Boring.”
