Iraq
Iraqi blogger notices Reuters and AP scare quotes
2003-12-07

Several hundred Iraqis protested for peace and against terror yesterday...

...described the daily attacks in Iraq as acts of terrorism and that any attempt to legitimize or justify these acts as ’resistance’ are ridiculous... demanded the closing of borders with neighbouring countries to prevent the infiltration of saboteurs, criminals, and terrorists seeking to destabilize the country and undermine reconstruction efforts.

Protestors carried signs and banners that said ’No to terrorism’, ’Yes for peace’, ’Iraqis stand united against terror and violence’, ’Thanks to CPA soldiers’, ’We thank the coalition for our FREEDOM’...
The odds of seeing that on CNN are about zero

By the way, what the hell are news organizations trying to prove by putting terrorism between idiotic quotation marks...
well it means Reuters, et al is hoping for a Baathist victory
I’ve decided to put quotation marks myself on the following erms: ’news ’organizations’, ’media’, ’press’, ’coverage, ’reporter’, and ’journalist’. F*ing morons.

#2  With Iraqis like Zeyad on board, there's hope for the country.

I wonder if Zeyad knows that many of these 'news' organizations supported Saddam's propaganda.

#1  baathist victory is nil. But rueters and smug 'journalist for peace' are all about happy hour.
