Progressives Circle the Wagons Around AP

While defending the Associated Press’s right to lie to its customers and spread enemy propaganda, John Cook at Radar Online takes a pathetic slap at me for something I didn’t write, about an event that happened today: Hawkish Blog Mum on AP Photog Murder.

I do thank Mr. Cook for linking to several posts at LGF about the AP’s disgraceful behavior. Readers who click through will discover that, unlike Cook’s inept smear job, the claims in my posts are actually backed up with evidence and arguments. Cook seems to believe that just pointing them out (“Look what Charles F. Johnson wrote! Isn’t he stupid?”) is enough to debunk them.

UPDATE at 12/12/06 2:05:34 pm:

Here’s another long-winded defense of the AP by Eric Boehlert, who is also completely unconcerned by the possibility that the AP is lying to its readers: Michelle Malkin fiddles while Baghdad burns. (Hat tip: Allahpundit.)

UPDATE at 12/12/06 5:27:55 pm:

Bob Owens replies to Boehlert: Confederate Yankee: Neck Deep.

We could jam in Joe's garage,
we didn't have no dope or LSD,
but a coupl'o'quarts o'beer,
would fix it so the intonation,
would not offend your ear.
