WELCOME TO THE BLOGOSPHERE, UPSIDEDOWN WORLD, providing excellent analysis on events in Israel regarding the proposed Gaza pullout. I’m proud to have helped Matt, the proprietor of this site, set it up.
Michael Isikoff was interviewed by Charlie Rose:
Michael Isikoff, addressing the furor in an interview broadcast Monday night on “The Charlie Rose Show,” said he regretted the possibility that his article, which has been blamed for violent protests in Muslim countries, may have spurred riots.
It was terrible what happened,” he told Rose. “Even if it was just a little bit that we contributed to the violence that went on over there, that was awful, terrible.”
Isikoff, supposedly a reporter devoted to the truth, tries to pretend his article contributed only “a little bit” to the riots, illustrating once again how out of touch with reality MSM is. Perhaps in Isikoff’s opinion, until he himself reports that something happened, it didn’t happen.
Isikoff said that he thought the error had harmed the magazine. “I think it has clearly done some temporary damage,” he said. “It’s thrown us off our game for a little bit,” he said. “I think this will end up being a blip.”
“Some temporary damage”? Something that resulted in 16 deaths and 100 injuries, as well as substantial harm to America? Evidently all that is nothing to Isikoff. This interview provides more evidence for the thesis that Newsweek cares little for, and even purposely opposes, those things that are good for the American people.
