Al-Reuters Gets the News Out of the Way
A release from al-Reuters about the bombing of an Afghan mosque used for voter registration contains one paragraph of information about the headlined story, then launches into 16 paragraphs of America-bashing—Afghan Mosque Blast Kills Two, Aid Group Pulls Out—concluding with this blatant editorializing, calling on unnamed “commentators” and “political analysts” who always seem to back up the al-Reuters editorial slant:
