Yet you created another thread centered around an article that ignored this basic tenent of "Fair Play". I refer - of course - to the Nursing mother == terrorist?. In that article, the freelance authoress admits the details of the story "strain credulity" but then adds they are so outrageous that they couldn't possilby have been made up.
She also admits that the crew of the plane and the "American male" in question gave vastly different accounts of the incident...yet no details are given from their versions.
The article is clearly slanted and one-sided - far more than the article quoted by Iron Ranger from the Washington Post (which is traditionally a left-wing publication}.

I'm not sure what all this has to do with the misrepresentation of Mr Kaiya's op-ed piece. Also IR's article was from the Washington Times not the Post.
The thread you are calling me to task on was posted more tongue-in-cheek then anything else. If you want to discuss terrorist nursing mothers some more I will be happy to in the other thread. This thread is about the outrages distortion that the right layed on the Mr Kamiya. Did you actually bother to read the original piece he wrote? They (the right-wing attack dogs) took a couple of lines and quoted them out of context to defame him and Salon, surely you do not agree with that kind of behaviour?
edit: opps my bad, I just noticed I did the same thing you did and got the newspaper of IR's article wrong in my original post [img]smile.gif[/img]
