If only there were more professors like Cooper.

re: #3 Globular Cluster

If only there were more professors like Cooper.

He'd never make it at Hahvahd or Chomsky's MIT. He actually thinks.

Makes me proud to be a Lizard.

re: #6 Kosh's Shadow

He'd never make it at Hahvahd or Chomsky's MIT. He actually thinks.

The Harvard journalism school is a disgrace. Not much different than Columbia's. I recall a professor appearing on PBS regarding the NY Times hit piece on McCain (his non-existent "affair"). The Harvard professor was defending the Times.

Ditto

One can always hope that show of force by Hezbollah last week was simply the photographer trying to remove (large quantites of ) dirt under difficult lighting....

French News Media right on it.

Scholarly!

re: #5 MandyManners

REUTERS, YOU SUCK DONKEY.

Same here, except it took me a year to finally register! Next time I try to register at a site that has selective registration I'll be sure to have already thought of a screen name to avoid a repeat of my panic attack when I finally caught an open registration.

Wow, that's an amazing article. Concise, indeed! I haven't even gone through it all yet. Fantastic.

LGF - it's the real thing.

Mandy, cool. And loved since.

what a night
why do i have to keep correcting "point out truth" the msm oh well i only pissed off a few kool-aid drinkers at the private club i drink at

Reposting from the Eurofascists thread:

I have to make a comment about MacGregor's spinoff link upstairs:
My business partner, who has spent the last 15 years or more with a cell-phone near his head, has had two brain surgeries recently to remove "schwannomas," and is now deaf in one ear. Read the whole thing, and be warned. Use the cell sparingly.

Acoustic neuromas, also called schwannomas, are a non-cancerous tumor that develops on the nerve that connects the ear to the brain. The tumor usually grows slowly. As it grows, it presses against the nerves responsible for hearing and balance. Radiosurgery is usually the standard treatment.

Signs and symptoms of acoustic neuromas may include hearing loss, usually gradual — although in some cases sudden — and occurring on only one side or more pronounced on one side, ringing (tinnitus) in the affected ear, dizziness (vertigo), loss of balance, facial numbness and tingling. The tumor also may press on the brainstem and in rare cases, it may grow large enough to compress the brainstem and be life-threatening.

I simply must say congratulations to Charles, zombie, Rusty and the other bloggers involved in all this.
While I certainly was aware of much of this through LGF and Charles' efforts to get the truth out into the light of day, and especially zombie's truly excellent work in assembling, analyzing and presenting a great deal of the bloggers work, until I read this article by Mr. Cooper I still didn't appreciate the nature and the incredible extent of these exercises in journalistic dishonestly and deceit.
Again, congratulations to Charles, zombie, Rusty, all of the other bloggers involved and especially to Mr. Cooper for synthesizing so clearly the events that occurred and the manifest lying and cover up's by not just the Mainstream Media, but especially the SOURCES (AP, AFP, Reuters) of the MSM's information. That these perfect examples of journalist perfidy - really first covered by Charles and especially after zombies' excellent pieces, continued and were, only partially and grudgingly accepted by those news sources speaks VOLUMES about the lack of ANY journalistic ethic's or mores.

The news wire services need to wise up.
EVERYBODY has access to computers and can clearly see when photos and documents have been altered. EVERY digital camera comes with almost production photo studio software so people have learned a lot fixing Uncle Joe's snaggle tooth, Aunt Emma's red eyes and getting rid of the tree growing out of Grandpa's head.

Maybe they need to go back to pen/ink drawings and dream up their own propaganda.

con·cise (kn-ss)
adj.
Expressing much in few words; clear and succinct.

Excellent and thorough the article was. At 16,000 words, concise it was not.

Ah, the memories, the memories!

re: #24 ploome hineni

Sounds like you might want to get that checked!

re: #20 realwest

Excellent summation, realwest: hear hear.

Juante, that does not sound well, re ear phones, does it? (pun intended (sometimes they are just missed, sigh))

re: #21 right_on_target Um, with all due respect, while I obvioulsy do have access to computers and the net, I can't always tell when a photo has been fooled around with or digitally altered. Thank God for people like Charles and Zombie and Rusty Shackelford who in fact can see or at least "sense" that something is wrong with a photograph.

re: #26 jaunte Thanks juante! It's easy to summarize that which has been presented so clearly (though I must confess I had to read Mr. Cooper's article twice to really get the summation correct)!

I will confess to a miniscule part. After Charles did his photo analysis, the first time, I contacted Michelle Malkin, late at nite. She went nuts on it. Lead story in minutes. She thanked me. She likes Charles.

re: #27 pat

I have to say, I'm not a scientist or a doctor, and my knowledge of "schwannomas" is only by knowing my business partner. but he is a heavy cell-phone user, and he did have to have surgery twice. He is a sailor. If he had just (by chance) done any scuba diving, the doctors say the tumor would have killed him at depth, because it had weakened his eardrum and made a passageway into his brain that seawater could have entered.

re: #30 pat You know, I haven't really been to Michelle's site in quite a while, does she have LGF on her blogroll?

re: #32 realwest

She has a "Buzzworthy" column on the right side of her site, but no permanent blogroll I can see.

The author also has a book "Watching the Watchdog: Bloggers As the Fifth Estate." The summary on Amazon notes that the book touches on Rathergate.

re: #34 ophidian

Interesting. Looks like we have a lizard here.

jaunte, I am concerned only as a runner. Ipod. only 12 people have my cell # and I don't know how to use it any way.

RW, I have no idea, Michelle attracts a different group than LGF. Let us say that Mandy, Trigger Girlie, Ginn, Bebe Boobs Destroy, tfk, song and dance, etc would be considered abnormal. Here?......they are the gang.

re: #28 realwest
Sorry,
Didn't mean to demean anyone in the general public but I meant to emphasize to the Wire services that THEY should realize the public in general are wise-ing up because of progress in technology.

That's one of the great things about this blog and a few others is that
the moderators TEACH.

But I don't know which course Charles is on now, Fauxtography 101, 102 or 110.

To the false disseminator Charles of the small green imperialist/infidel game ball made of skin of the pig /spit/ and his evil minions:

You people have no idea how hard you are making my life as I struggle to adjust to my new gig as Syrian Information Minister, dammit....
You should all be committing suicide at the Cedars by the hundreds, I am quite certain of this.....

PBUH, Mohammed S'ayd Ali, Aka Baghdad Bob
Former Iraqi Information minister

I read through the first inch or so (as noted by the lil' scroll button on the right) but I will save it to go back and read it all later. It is a scholarly work, and one that is most appreciated for its recognition of the true journalistic work of those who debunk the "work" (spit) of those who are supposedly "real" journalists.

In this internet age, the term "journalist" has changed indeed.

Well, that was quite a read. Very well written and documented.

re: #34 ophidian

Interestingly (for someone interested in blogging), I cannot find a web page for the Professor, though he is responsible for his department's home page (see bottom).

What a bunch of fauxnies!

Unfortunately, the MSM has a deep, deep, DEEP memory hole.

I predict that this story will get not the coverage it should. And I'm confident that those who should read about it and learn from it - won't.

Be vigilant, Leezards!
('cause they sure won't)

There is definitely a narrow scope of viewpoint on MM's site, but sometimes I get good insight from them. They have a troll or two, but they all join together to trounce them soundly.

Her focus often runs toward illegal immigration issues, and general critique of the Republican party. I've seen LGF headlines on her rotating blogroll - that's how I came to read here, back a number of months ago.

Michelle sure can whip out the zingers against idiocy, I must say.

/grateful to MM's site for leading me to lizardia!

re: #35 Killgore Trout

How about a slew of slow ol' lizards?

re: #41 ophidian

The closest thing I found was this, his profile page. Doesn't appear to have his own blog, though.

The MSM lies and distorts, yawn.

That's the msm's good point.

NYNana, LOL. (all my home computers are down except this old iMac).
Did you read my articles at 1000 Papercuts?

re: #44 jaunte

re: #37 right_on_target

The great thing I've seen here is that Charles starts the lessons, and the lizards continue on with the instructions! I've learned heaps from being here.

Hope to continue learning!

re: #35 Killgore Trout Well, not new exactly, but someone whom I trust will post more often that he/she has to date!
Oh, and my apologies to Dr. Cooper for calling him Mr. instead of Doctor.
Hey Killgore, did you read the two customer reviews - pretty damned good!

Wow, zombietime is mentioned extensively in this chapter. I'm an object of academic analysis!

Of course I love Michelle, or would not mention that she personally thanked me. She is as polite as she is pretty.

re: #50 slokat

I didn't see one in the article; take my caution as a sample of one, but it's serious enough I thought I should post it. Here's the link to the article:
[Link: www.cancermonthly.com...]

This study did not say that cell phone use leads to brain tumors, only that long-term use may increase one’s statistical risk of certain brain tumors. In addition, it should be noted, that other studies have concluded that there is no connection between cell phones and increased risk of cancer. This issue is far from resolved. But for those heavy cell-phone users who want to err on the side of caution, it may be wise to use one of the various non-RF devices (such as headphones) that can place some distance between a cell phone and the user’s brain.

Did you read my articles at 1000 Papercuts?

Ouch! No, I didn't...in the spinoffs or the blog?

/I have Macaphobia...my daughter and son in law both have Macs, and I have yet to use theirs in the 4 years they are married!

The 20-month old thinks he is sending me emails...hilarious! Yipes! He will be 22 months old in a week.

I still feel guilty as hell about all this because my "Taxonomy of Fraud" chapter is still half-finished after all this time; and I wasted many days working on the supra-directory of which the ambulance report was originally just a small subset, but never got around to finishing any of it. Look at this tragic page:

THIS PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION

as of December 28, 2006

We hope to have it online sometime in January. Check back then. It will be worth the wait!

Until then, you can see the previous version of the report that will soon updated here by visiting the zombietime Reuters Photo Scandal page.

You should see the half-finished report that was gonna go there. A thing of beauty. Alas, I now accept that i will never finish it. There's simply not enough time in the day.

re: #48 lummox You are of course correct, but what I found fascinating was how the MSM's only real "sources" of news in the ME (I do NOT count "journalists" hiding in the hotel bars in the Green Zone), that is, Reuters, AP and AFP, were the ones guilty of distorting and lying and covering up - not just to us, but to the very MSM itself.
Mind you I'm not excusing the MSM - any source needs to be checked and especially sources with photographs, where the MSM all would seem to have photography "editors" who ought to be able to see this bullshit and either don't or choose to ignore it.

re: #55 pat

Of course I love Michelle, or would not mention that she personally thanked me. She is as polite as she is pretty.

And she rose highly in my esteem when Geraldo Rivera said he would spit on her if he saw her!

Which led to her not being on Bill O'Reilly's show anymore, since Bill didn't stand up to Geraldo for his statement.

Anyone who pisses off Geraldo in such a way gets my respect.

re: #47 gop_patriot Great find! Dr. Cooper is apparently very well trained in dealing with matters such as the one he wrote upon and there is a half hour or so audio clip of his being interviewed which I WILL listen to tomorrow when I can turn on the speakers!

re: #52 realwest

Hey Killgore, did you read the two customer reviews - pretty damned good!

It looks very interesting. I've bookmarked it but I'm not sure if I'll ever get around to reading it. I'm way behind on my reading.

The truth is, I really am that absent-minded. Once, in college, I signed up for a required class, went for two sessions, then completely forgot about it and never went again -- the entire thing just slipped right out of my mind. Weird, hunh? Luckily, I found out the next semester that I had been automatically dropped, since the prof assumed I meant to withdraw from the class and had just neglected to tell him. Saved my ass from getting an F.

I took it again the following year, to great embarrassment.

65 NYNana. I posted 2 little articles at Death By 1000 Papercuts, (google) they are a few days old. And since i do not really have a computer can not do more for a while. One was obama Fitness, The other On Turkey Torture, those are key words I think. I would like your opinion.

Hey, a zombie's gotta make a buck somehow! A tenured college gig can pay decent bucks, even if it is in Kansas!

re: #54 zombie Yes, indeed you are the object of academic analysis! And it's truly well done analysis of some truly special work on your part! Indeed your work was prominently and heartily congratulated on #20 above!

What is most interesting here is that an academic even dares to act like an academic and use logic and evidence in this politically fraught realm.

This is good academic work, to be sure. But it's also courageous.

Battlefield courage isn't the only kind. It takes courage, of sorts, to put a career at risk when one could quietly walk on by on the other side and no one would ever notice that you'd chickened out.

Although the author studiously avoids concluding that the photojournalism in question is systemically fraudulent, he assembles so much evidence that the conclusion is pretty much inescapable. He also credits the blogosphere with a degree of rationality. Well, yes, but that is a daring observation.

re: #65 NY Nana

re: #51 Intrepid Well I can honestly say, after having been here since, iirc, December of 2003 - before registration - that there hasn't been a week go by that I haven't learned something new and valuable out here (well, except when I had the misfortune of missing LGF for about six weeks total due to hospitalizations). Indeed, I'm very tempted to say that it's rare that a day goes by when I don't learn something of value out here.

2 arrested as explosives seized at nuclear plant

Sweden - Two people were arrested Wednesday after a worker was stopped at the entrance of a Swedish nuclear plant with a bag containing traces of an explosive which has been used in terror attacks.

. . .

"They told us a welder who was going to perform a job there had been stopped in a random security check. He had been carrying small amounts of the highly explosive material TATP," Karlsson said.

Well gee, where's the reporting been on this?

re: #126 Killian Bundy

There have been a few posts of this in the spinoff links... looks pretty scary.

And yes.. haven't see it picked up yet. However I have a feeling Charles is holding onto it and giving it the 'old 48-hour rule.

Also, no names of suspects yet, if you know what I mean.

re: #128 astronmr20

Yeah...it is always a good idea not to jump on bandwagon until you know the facts...

It is curious that they would not describe the alleged law breaker at all...could they be native Swede? Maybe one of those Baden Baden gang?

Off topic, sorry. Who can help me find a picture, I thought I saw it here on LGF yesterday.

It was of the defendant in a knifing case in Frankfurt, who had stabbed a rabbi and nearly killed him. His sentence, given last Monday, was only three and a half years, and so he was photographed laughing it up hysterically with his homies outside the courthouse.

Taken with an extreme wide angle lens, almost a fisheye.

If anyone can help me find that photo, I'd be much obliged,

re: #105 Killian Bundy

Very accurate picture of "religion vs relationship"
Very accurate picture of zeal without knowledge: USAT article has a quote from an Israeli who says that such book burning is a "commandment"

I have searched The Tanakh and couldn't find such a commandment.
I did, however, find this in Isaiah: "This people honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me"

However, in Gaza, the ROP burns Christian books and shoots Christians - an example of extreme zeal and practicing what is preached.

We need to remember that these shams are the ones that can be uncovered because the photos contain evidence of being doctored. The vast majority of the reporting that comes out the region cannot be investigated in this way. We can surmise that these phony reporters thought that could get poorly doctored photos past the news agencies because they they had experience getting sham stories past the news agencies.

Yes, the research in regards to RF affecting human tissue is spotty (it didn't stop the Europeans for enacting ridiculous restrictions and practices, though). However the only known problematic effect of noise by your ear is either hearing loss or tinnitus.

re: #132 least

Very accurate picture of "religion vs relationship"
Very accurate picture of zeal without knowledge: USAT article has a quote from an Israeli who says that such book burning is a "commandment"

I have searched The Tanakh and couldn't find such a commandment.
I did, however, find this in Isaiah: "This people honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me"

However, in Gaza, the ROP burns Christian books and shoots Christians - an example of extreme zeal and practicing what is preached.

I realize I may be a bit paranoid about this, but I almost find this story annoying. I appreciate USAT reporting on it, and it is dismaying. Yet I can't help but think that , if it had happened anywhere but Israel, we wouldn't be hearing about it at all.
There is a great deal of violence against Christians in Africa and Asia now, but the MSM ignores 90% of it.

Off topic, sorry. Who can help me find a picture, I thought I saw it here on LGF yesterday.

It was of the defendant in a knifing case in Frankfurt, who had stabbed a rabbi and nearly killed him. His sentence, given last Monday, was only three and a half years, and so he was photographed laughing it up hysterically with his homies outside the courthouse.

Taken with an extreme wide angle lens, almost a fisheye.

re: #74 zombie

The truth is, I really am that absent-minded. Once, in college, I signed up for a required class, went for two sessions, then completely forgot about it and never went again -- the entire thing just slipped right out of my mind. Weird, hunh? Luckily, I found out the next semester that I had been automatically dropped, since the prof assumed I meant to withdraw from the class and had just neglected to tell him. Saved my ass from getting an F.

I took it again the following year, to great embarrassment.

This actually describes a recurring bad dream of mine. Every so often I dream that I didn't really graduate college because there was a class I flat-out forgot to attend. In the dream, I usually find out by looking at my schedule and realizing that I've neglected to attend some very important class. At this point I usually wake up, as the sick feeling of anxiety and being left behind is strong enough to disturb me into consciousness.

The roots of this anxiety are very real, as it took me seven years and attendance at three different post-secondary institutions in two different states to finally wrap up a Bachelor's (my post-high school life was a bit complicated).

I've always envied my friends who went right from high school to a nice neat four years of college, complete with dorm life, off-campus apartments, friends, partying, and girls, and right into a career relevant to their area of study.

I've read the whole article, and it's just a great comprehensive analysis of the entire issue. I greatly respect his very complimentary portrayal of the cross-checking of facts and notable self-restraint exhibited by those bloggers who were reporting on this stories. It was in sharp contrast to his implied message about the damage to mainstream credibity this has incurred.

We are the big dogs now. Let's not go chew up every chihuahua out there, but let's not back down from injustice either. It's was too easy to become complacent, like what I'm afraid that much of the American voting public has become.

Here's an update on the TATP scare in Sweden. Still no nationality identifier.

re: #248 Sprite

Hmmmmm. Hello gop, pleased to meet you.

I must disagree. I lived in San Diego for 10 years and went on many, many trips to Mexico.

The Mexican (at least..not speaking for Thai or Indian) food we're treated to in the U.S. is bona fide fabulous and authentic. Even here in Idaho, one of the local restaurants is owned by people who had other restaurants in San Diego....and who are from Mexico.

Absolutely wonderful.

Sprite I'm referring to Tex-Mex and the "pre-packaged" "taco set" dinners you can by in the Grocery store. That contain those "taco shells"....

I agree Some of the better Mexican places I've been to are on the east side of my hometown (Bakersfield, California), where all the latinos live.

Heck in the southeast, is a big Mexican Market (you can get freshly made corn tortillas and thinly sliced Carne Asada steak)

You don't wanna know...

*on second thought*

It's really horrible and creepy, you wouldn't like it.

re: #244 Render

Any place around here I can get a hot fresh plain bagel with (Phillie) creme cheese and lox to go with my Fruitcup?

/sorry, this morning we're having a rat barbecue, it's eat what you catch only

re: #254 Hengineer

Exactly, Hengineer. Pleased to meet you, too.

Are you familiar with puffy tacos?

Lox is not "seafood". Fish, yes.

Are you familiar with puffy tacos?

not sure what you meant by puffy tacos?

re: #249 BlueCanuck

Liquid Oxygen? ;)

/thinly sliced smoked salmon actually.

If that's what it is, the Lox seems like it wants me to eat it. No holds barred.
