The Media Are the Enemy

Tue, Jun 3, 2008 at 9:34:25 am PDT

One of the most outrageous and disgusting examples yet of the Associated Press using “news” directly from terrorists: an unnamed Associated Press photographer hangs out with Taliban terrorists as they transfer ammunition in the dark of night.

A face covered Taliban militant adjusts the ammunition on a motor bike for transferring them to another location in Kandahar province south of Kabul, Afghanistan, Saturday, May 31, 2008.

(Hat tip: No Submission.)

UPDATE at 6/3/08 9:36:00 am:

Another photo from the same smuggling operation.

Well, you could always go to the videotape. That was a Fox News reporter crawling through the smuggling tunnels into Gaza from Egypt - the same smuggling tunnels the reporter says was allowing Hamas and the terrorists to get their weapons and manpower into Gaza to attack Israel.

I saw a story on Fox News where a reporter (of Fox) let smugglers give him a tour of their smuggling tunnels between Gaza and Egypt. I think it's the same guy who filmed Gazans launching rockets at Israel.

Charles, I really want you to follow up on this. Was it really an AP-employed photographer? If so, do they promise not to complain if in a similar circumstance in the future a Predator were to happen on the scene and ruin the terrorists' day? If it wasn't a full-time AP photographer, if it was a stringer, what policies and procedures does AP have in place to ensure that they did not pay the taliban itself for this photograph?

Of course, I'm not so naive to think that journalists aren't biased, but theoretically at least, couldn't it be seen as a good thing that we have a fly on the wall reporting what is happening with our enemy? This assumes that the photographer is not directly aiding or abetting the operation, which I don't see proof of here. Also, the photographs themselves don't seem to celebrating the operation, just recording it.

Why are they the enemy? I find that Charles often links to these same sources (the AP, Reuters, name-a-newspaper) often via another Web site as a way to back up many of his arguments about foreign policy, terrorist groups and so forth.

Here he is offended, I'm guessing, because the AP was clearly close to the Taliban, whom the United States considers an enemy. Yet it is often this kind of on-the-ground reporting that Charles relies on in his posts.

About the only positive thing about the AP Pictures is that they document that the the terrorists are scraping the bottom of the barrel. They are forced to to use motorbikes as ammunition freighters and that is several steps below the use of ambulances for the same purpose. Perhaps the AP can come up with some pictures of the terrorists using skateboards as ambulances. That would be truly amusing.
The fox news pics of the pali tunnels documents that situation also and it should not come as a surprise to anyone when something is done about them.

Okay. But I've been reading this site for a long time. And Charles DOES use reports from these agencies when the facts in the stories support his arguments about terrorism, Islam, U.S. foreign policy, the 2008 presidential election.

He believes that these agencies are biased in their reporter. Well, Charles, like everyone else, is entitled to his opinion. That said, as a right-wing commentator, it is probably not to his advantage to paint these agencies as "always wrong--factually and morally" when he has in the past, and I assume will in the future, use them to his editorial advantage.

This assumes that the photographer is not directly aiding or abetting the operation, which I don't see proof of here. Also, the photographs themselves don't seem to celebrating the operation, just recording it.

When the stories become sympathetic to the terrorists and bring support, they cross the "lines". There are clearly defined good and bad guys! To get close to them like that, they would pretty much have to trust that the reporter will not rat them out. Look how they covered Abu Graib but nary a peep of the real atrocities (beheadings, stonings, honor killings, bombings) committed nearly daily by the other side. Notice the language they use. He is a "militant". even though those munitions will probably used against the civilian population in Afghanistan. One side can drag people out in the middle of the night and behead them and still be called "militants", "insurgents", and freedom fighters" by the press. We are losing the propaganda war by these "unbiased" reporters skewing the truth of what is happening on the ground. Where are the stories about the good stuff? I'm sure that reporter could find a water well being dug or some little girls going to their new school? Nope, he found a Taliban "militant" in the middle of the night bringing death to some little girls that may be going to their new school.

Okay. But I've been reading this site for a long time. And Charles DOES use reports from these agencies when the facts in the stories support his arguments about terrorism, Islam, U.S. foreign policy, the 2008 presidential election.

He believes that these agencies are biased in their reporter. Well, Charles, like everyone else, is entitled to his opinion. That said, as a right-wing commentator, it is probably not to his advantage to paint these agencies as "always wrong--factually and morally" when he has in the past, and I assume will in the future, use them to his editorial advantage.

Go piss up a rope, you fucking moron. This is not a right-wing site.

Go back to your Cheetos and Vault.
