Newsweek Blogswarm

The blogs are circling.

Last week, Newsweek was in more than just hot water - they published a story that American interrogators flushed a Koran down a toilet. Muslim riots everywhere, and at least 16 people died in Afghanistan.

Then Newsweek said they couldn’t verify the story was true. Oops.

So there’s a lot of scrutiny on Newsweek right now - and blogger, thousands of them, are searching for more evidence that Newsweek hates America.

Riding Sun finds some evidence. Newsweek published in Japan this cover art:
Newsweek burns a flag and hopes nobody is watching.

The headline translates to, “The Day America Died.” Of course, this would be insulting to Americans, so Newsweek didn’t run this cover picture here. Instead, we got a picture of Bush:
Newsweek publishes a picture of Bush *not* flushing a Koran down a toilet.

So overseas, Newsweek tells the world that “America is rotting away” and hopes Americans won’t notice.

Would it be so terrible if the mainstream media printed something positive about America for a change?
