Geez...check out Michellemalkin.com sometime and also, eureferendum.com which is one of my favorite blogs to read to get a feel of what's going on in Europe.

Understand, this is the kind of stuff that gets into the foreign papers and no one ever challenges these things. AP and Reuters are disgraced sources. It's no wonder newspapers are laying off thousands of people and going online. It's much cheaper and easier, especially when you have to take things back so frequently.
Oh yeah, I knew about the doctored pictures - the whole thing about the picture of an American soldier standing, smiling, with his boot on the "supposed" corpse of a Palestinian... I just didn't know about Michele Malkin going overseas to do her investigation.

And yes, our media has made a huge, corporate ass of itself.
