NEWSWEEK DISSEMBLED, MUSLIMS DISMEMBERED!
by Ann Coulter
May 18, 2005

When ace reporter Michael Isikoff had the scoop of the decade, a thoroughly sourced story about the president of the United States having an affair with an intern and then pressuring her to lie about it under oath, Newsweek decided not to run the story. Matt Drudge scooped Newsweek, followed by The Washington Post.

When Isikoff had a detailed account of Kathleen Willey's nasty sexual encounter with the president in the Oval Office, backed up with eyewitness and documentary evidence, Newsweek decided not to run it. Again, Matt Drudge got the story.

When Isikoff was the first with detailed reporting on Paula Jones' accusations against a sitting president, Isikoff's then-employer The Washington Post — which owns Newsweek — decided not to run it. The American Spectator got the story, followed by the Los Angeles Times.

So apparently it's possible for Michael Isikoff to have a story that actually is true, but for his editors not to run it.

Why no pause for reflection when Isikoff had a story about American interrogators at Guantanamo flushing the Quran down the toilet? Why not sit on this story for, say, even half as long as NBC News sat on Lisa Meyers' highly credible account of Bill Clinton raping Juanita Broaddrick?

Newsweek seems to have very different responses to the same reporter's scoops. Who's deciding which of Isikoff's stories to run and which to hold? I note that the ones that Matt Drudge runs have turned out to be more accurate — and interesting! — than the ones Newsweek runs. Maybe Newsweek should start running everything past Matt Drudge.

Somehow Newsweek missed the story a few weeks ago about Saudi Arabia arresting 40 Christians for "trying to spread their poisonous religious beliefs." But give the American media a story about American interrogators defacing the Quran, and journalists are so appalled there's no time for fact-checking — before they dash off to see the latest exhibition of "Piss Christ."

Assistant Managing Editor Evan Thomas justified Newsweek's decision to run the incendiary anti-U.S. story about the Quran, saying that "similar reports from released detainees" had already run in the foreign press — "and in the Arab news agency al-Jazeera."

Is there an adult on the editorial board of Newsweek? Al-Jazeera also broadcast a TV miniseries last year based on the "Protocols of the Elders Of Zion." (I didn't see it, but I hear James Brolin was great!) Al-Jazeera has run programs on the intriguing question, "Is Zionism worse than Nazism?" (Take a wild guess where the consensus was on this one.) It runs viewer comments about Jews being descended from pigs and apes. How about that for a Newsweek cover story, Evan? You're covered — al-Jazeera has already run similar reports!

Ironically, among the reasons Newsweek gave for killing Isikoff's Lewinsky bombshell was that Evan Thomas was worried someone might get hurt. It seems that Lewinsky could be heard on tape saying that if the story came out, "I'll (expletive) kill myself."

But Newsweek couldn't wait a moment to run a story that predictably ginned up Islamic savages into murderous riots in Afghanistan, leaving hundreds injured and 16 dead. Who could have seen that coming? These are people who stone rape victims to death because the family "honor" has been violated and who fly planes into American skyscrapers because — wait, why did they do that again?

Come to think of it, I'm not sure it's entirely fair to hold Newsweek responsible for inciting violence among people who view ancient Buddhist statues as outrageous provocation — though I was really looking forward to finally agreeing with Islamic loonies about something. (Bumper sticker idea for liberals: News magazines don't kill people, Muslims do.) But then I wouldn't have sat on the story of the decade because of the empty threats of a drama queen gas-bagging with her friend on the telephone between spoonfuls of Haagen-Dazs.

No matter how I look at it, I can't grasp the editorial judgment that kills Isikoff's stories about a sitting president molesting the help and obstructing justice, while running Isikoff's not particularly newsworthy (or well-sourced) story about Americans desecrating a Quran at Guantanamo.

Even if it were true, why not sit on it? There are a lot of reasons the media withhold even true facts from readers. These include:

— A drama queen nitwit exclaimed she'd kill herself. (Evan Thomas' reason for holding the Lewinsky story.)

— The need for "more independent reporting." (Newsweek President Richard Smith explaining why Newsweek sat on the Lewinsky story even though the magazine had Lewinsky on tape describing the affair.)

— "We were in Havana." (ABC president David Westin explaining why "Nightline" held the Lewinsky story.)

— Unavailable for comment. (Michael Oreskes, New York Times Washington bureau chief, in response to why, the day The Washington Post ran the Lewinsky story, the Times ran a staged photo of Clinton meeting with the Israeli president on its front page.)

— Protecting the privacy of an alleged rape victim even when the accusation turns out to be false.

— Protecting an accused rapist even when the accusation turns out to be true if the perp is a Democratic president most journalists voted for.

— Protecting a reporter's source.

How about the media adding to the list of reasons not to run a news item: "Protecting the national interest"? If journalists don't like the ring of that, how about this one: "Protecting ourselves before the American people rise up and lynch us for our relentless anti-American stories."

Someone tell Ann Coulter it's okay to eat something once in a while.  Saw her on the tonight show recently, yikes!  

<Removed.  --tbk1>

Wow!
Thats an interesting read.

She just eviscerated them  Ripped them several new ones. This is why she's so hated. Calls their double standards and phoniness on what they cover and why for what it is.

I pretended not to notice her adam's apple, and when she wanted me to suck her dick I ran out of the men's room.

Honestly I had never paid any attention to her before this article. The "interesting" part I thought was that some one in the media actually gets the gravity of the newsweek story.

We all no what happened the first time that happened. An Arfcom record!

I'm an opinionated libertarian gun owning asshole, that doesn't make me a troll.

So, you guys can want to kill people over websites, but I can't be an asshole too in my own way? Shucks :(

I found out about this website a while ago when I discovered that the account of something I witnessed the very tail end of at a gun show involving a pissed off man, a retard selling crap, and a darth vader bitch-making choke was posted here.

I registered cause I was bored.

If you guys are too pussy for me and my abrasive manner, well, I understand. Edit: I don't have any images of transvestite porn but I'm pretty sure some of the fans of "that stuff" on here could find some that would approximate what ann coulter naked would look like.

Quoted: I'm an opinionated asshole

Yep.

Ann is an old friend....I'll send her your post and ask her if it's true. If not, and I doubt it is, I hope you have good legal representation. She just may fuck you in your ass.

:P what about being informed over what can and can't be done about things posted on the internet makes me a fucktard? I don't deny that I'm already one, just that that alone is poor grounds for determining fucktardedness.

Normally, I'd be against this sort of legal action.  But in your case, I'd make an exception.  Trollin, trollin, trollin...

Trolls try to stir people up and cause fights. I just wanted to post my opinion of ann coulter- apparently since it differs from yours, I am a troll. You know, they could use some guys like you at democratic underground.

No, he's a fucktard. I'm just amazed people get so amazingly wrapped up in him emotionally. I think he's a dork. I'd point at him in public and laugh, but I don't get why people want to kill him. Maybe I'm just well adjusted.

I own www.muzzleflash.org but since the recode most of the content (flash films pointing out fallacies of the AWB and various gun control stuff, there's nothing like an animation showing the real difference between a semi auto AK and a select fire one, or using a globe to show why terrorists will buy fully featured AKs for cheap somewhere else instead of coming to the US to buy crippled ones at gunshows, and a bunch of articles and shit I wrote up over the years) isn't back up yet.

Look he learned a new word.

Eh? And that is supposed to mean..?

I'm an opinionated libertarian gun owning asshole

I think you're just a DUH troll that knows how to use Google to search for the string "Ann Coulter."

I hate those leftist moonbats. Don't you fucking dare equate me with them. I'd rather be called an immature asshole with no sense of decency than to be even compared to a member of democratic underground, let alone one of their brainwashed trolls.

Try this:
