Media Cites International “Critics” Who Call Bush “An Appeaser”

After all the “appeaser” flak Obama...er...claimed for himself last week the media is out to show the world who the real appeaser is.  And they’ve got the proof from a bunch of anti-semitic, state-controlled Egyptian journalists to prove it!

(CBS/AP) Egypt’s state-owned press opened fire Saturday on U.S. President George W. Bush as he arrived for talks with regional leaders at the conclusion of a five-day Mideast tour.

The newspapers, whose management are all appointed by the government, criticized Mr. Bush’s speech Thursday in front of the Israeli Knesset for being overly supportive of the Israelis and not mentioning the Palestinians’ plight.

“The Torah-inspired speech of Bush raised question marks over the credibility of the U.S. role in the Middle East,” wrote Mursi Atallah, the publisher of Al-Ahram, the flagship daily of the state-owned press. “Bush aims to do nothing but appeasing Israel.”

Mr. Bush’s tour, which included stops in Israel and Saudi Arabia, represents another effort to push Mideast peace talks forward as his time in office winds down.

It’s amazing that the Associated Press would dignify this sort of “Bush is just doing the Jews’ bidding!” nonsense with a story.  It’s a bit like quoting Pravda to exonerate Stalin.

But hey, it’s criticism of Bush, so I guess the media won’t mind hopping in bed with the state-owned media of a Jew-hating regime.

Bush is on a mid-east tour.  The reception he gets is news.  That is why he takes journalist with him.

I just read an interesting commentary at Abu Aardvark, the gist of which is how Al Qaeda believes that the Arab media undermines jihad. Poor media folk can’t please anyone it seems. wink

Not to put too fine a point on it, but I say f**k ‘em- we should whack those raghead sonsabitches with a big stick and be done with it. Put all this talk of appeasement aside, and replace it with them having a healthy fear of righteous anger on our part. And drop a hint to Putin he has a crosshair on his forehead too. Can I say that here? Hahahaaa..!

At least the ones ”whose management are all appointed by the government.” (It was pretty conspicuously disclaimed in the article.)

State run media, not much democracy in the Middle East.

This stuff has been going on since the 1930s (at least) since the press started ”Pravda to exonerate Stalin.”
