WRKO Boston Cancels Newsweek Show

Is it possible there could be consequences for a major Media Outlet ie. Newsweek to engage in shoddy reporting? I looked outside and saw no flying pigs nor did the weather forecast say anything about hell freezing over, but here it is....

Per WND:
A major Boston talk-radio station cancelled Newsweek's weekly program due to the magazine's false report that U.S. interrogators desecrated the Quran at Guantanamo Bay by flushing one in the toilet.

Newsweek On Air" no longer will be broadcast on WRKO-AM, the station said in a statement today, according to a report by radio blogger Brian Maloney.

WRKO's schedule now shows "TBA" in place of the Newsweek program in its Sunday 9 p.m. timeslot.

Not a lot but it's a start

1 Hmmmm. Newsweek isn't reporting fact? What a shame. FOX News? Oh, now there's an accurate propaganda channel!

2 steven, Fox's ratings are higher than all the other cable news channels combined for a good reason. People trust it. The MSM is losing ratings and dying as we speak because people no longer trust it. You Libs lie through your teethe.

5 Has Newsweek even offered an apology to the victims of the riots to the family's of those who died, Not Yet! This is an example liberal elitist arrogance from the secular fundamentalists at Newsweek. If Newsweek want come clean from their lie U.S. soldier threw a a copy of the Qur'an in a latrine at Kandahar airfield they need to apologize to the Muslims of the world to every U.S.citizen for tarnishing the U.S.'s reputation pay the medical cost of these hurt in the riot pay for the funeral of the 17 who died. Compensate the the children who lost a Father or mother or both parents during the riots

6 Carlos, you gotta be kidding: FOX is far from fact, and ratings don't mean truth. It just means more people are duped...that is what propaganda is! It's brainwashing through media repetition. Respectable news is sourced, not "Some people say this, some people say that..." Plus, do you know of any other "news" network who sends out mails each morning to manipulate the reporters into practically lying? Oh yeah, and MSM sucks too, I don't trust CNN either. I think they are all bunch of fucking liars. I think it's pathetic that to find out accurate news in the USA I have to read foreign news. Carlos, I would hope you have enough intelligence to see through all that sensationalist lapdog bullshit ratings game. Unfair and unbalanced all the way...

7 "It just means more people are duped...that is what propaganda is! It's brainwashing through media repetition." And you on the left are the only ones who can see through this. Us lemmings on the right are too ignorant to understand this, PUHLEEEAZE. Your arrogance and collective condescention is what continues to lose you elections. The delusional "If they only knew what I knew they would think as I do" mentality is misguided and is an indication of a specious argument and a lazy mind.

8 >>>"The delusional "If they only knew what I knew they would think as I do" mentality is misguided and is an indication of a specious argument and a lazy mind." traderrob, Very true. When I was a Lib I sneered down my own nose at all the regular folks who were duped, and not tres chic like me. I saw the masses as stupid grazing cattle. Honest to god. That's how Steven sees people. And I used to think to myself if only the cattle knew the things I know they'd turn into Liberals and real human beings. Well, now I know what Libs know AND what conservatives know. And I've realized that information is not what makes the difference hear. It's values, plain and simple. Most Libs haven't even considered that, shows how dumb they are. That's why regular folks hate their fucking guts.

9 Carlos hates 49% of his fellow Americans. Is he anti-American?

10 Why doesn't the ACLU file a lawsuit on behalf of the Victims of Newsweek who died in the riots.

Posted by: Zebrab5 at May 17, 2005 10:37 AM (DoxEP)

11 Because it's the AMERICAN civil liberties union - Aclu

Posted by: greg at May 17, 2005 10:42 AM (/+dAV)

12 greg, dissuade yourself asap of the delusion that 49% of the American people are Liberal. It's more like 15-20%. Those are the people regular folks hate.

Posted by: Carlos at May 17, 2005 10:48 AM (8e/V4)

13 greg, Americans will die because of this kind of MSM sedition.

Posted by: Carlos at May 17, 2005 10:51 AM (8e/V4)

14 Carlos, I think that it is very likely that our military has desecrated the Koran in front of Muslim prisoners. If people die because of it, it's their own damn fault.

Posted by: greg at May 17, 2005 11:18 AM (/+dAV)

15 greg, you fucking Leftists desegrate the Bible and the Cross 24/7 and then get NEA grants for it. So if our interrogators desecrated a Koran and muslims rioted and killed some people, they should get napalmed where they stand, and seditious pigs should have their citizenship revoked and be deported to live in a muslim country.

Posted by: Carlos at May 17, 2005 12:10 PM (8e/V4)

16 I don't know of anyone desecrating the Bible or the Cross. Now you're just making shit up.

Posted by: greg at May 17, 2005 01:15 PM (/+dAV)

17 "piss christ" comes to mind greg. No riots and no deaths resulted from that. It also isn't the only example.

Posted by: Defense Guy at May 17, 2005 01:52 PM (jPCiN)

18 I note that "piss Christ" or any other examples that I can think of were not perpetrated by Muslims. Holy Book desecration seems to be a unilateral phenomenon.

Posted by: greg at May 17, 2005 02:13 PM (/+dAV)

19 >>>"I note that "piss Christ" or any other examples that I can think of were not perpetrated by Muslims." No, because even muslims have some modicum of decency where the secular Left has absolutely none. Regarding, that was clearly a dodge on your part because your point is irrelevant. Your little dodge didn't work, and you lost. Case closed.

Posted by: Carlos at May 17, 2005 02:22 PM (8e/V4)

20 Carlos, Traderrob: "The delusional "If they only knew what I knew they would think as I do" mentality is misguided and is an indication of a specious argument and a lazy mind." I never wrote that if people knew what I know they would think as I do...but I would like to add that if you're a FOX "News" fan, you're probably not lazy, but you're sure as hell biased. Get a fucking clue, man. I don't see "the masses as stupid grazing cattle" either. It is pretty obvious that if you're always told the world is flat, you'll argue till you're blue in the face (no pun intended) that it's flat even when told it's round. I am simply stating that I wish our media was more unbiased and reliable...not a bunch of hyped, gossipy, ratings whores. I personally don't give a crap if someone burns or flushes a bible, torah or koran down the toilet. Someone pisses on a cross? WHO GIVES A FUCK! If you get pissed (again, no pun intended) about it, you're only going to contribute to your future heart attack. Someone is always doing something someone finds offensive, just do yourself a favor and ignore them. Maybe Ashcroft could have ignored that dirty little titty on the lady justice statue, but nooooooo. He had to cover it up lest he be tempted to do something SeXuAL XXXXX!!! DIRTY! TITTY! SO UNNATURAL! COVER IT UP! FUCK, PUT A BURKA ON IT DAMMIT! Chalk up another victory for the American Taliban! Oh yeah, and last time I checked, regular people like me and I wasn't labeled a "Lib" just because I question authority or have a different opinion. Don't get angry at me if you can't think for yourself...

21 Your ignorance never ceases to amaze Greg. Muslims have desecrated many holy symbols and sites of other religions. Christian churches in the West Bank, jewish holy sites in the West Bank and North Africa, Buddhist sites in Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and more.

22 What goes around comes around.

Posted by: greg at May 18, 2005 09:02 AM (/+dAV)

23 greg, what goes around comes around is exactly what I'd say to those muslim sub-human about their filthy koran being flushed down the toilet. Let them riot. They only kill more of their own primitive kind.

Posted by: Carlos at May 18, 2005 09:06 AM (8e/V4)

24 Carlos, you claim to be a believer but by calling muslims sub-human you insult God. Read the Bible again. They are the sons and daughters of Abraham. You'll never receive Salvation harboring such a sickness in your heart. Do you believe that Muslims are not Homo sapien sapien? Are they a different Genus than Homo? Maybe Pan. Ridiculous! I hope you get cured real soon and are filled with God's spirit. I used to think you were one of the more rational Zionnazis on this site but now I think you're worse than Greyrooster. At least he admitted he was a racist.

Posted by: greg at May 18, 2005 09:20 AM (/+dAV)

25 greg, at the end of the day, of course I don't believe they're sub-humans. All men are created in God's image. In the meantime, however, I rant about them just to watch it get stuck in your craw.

Posted by: Carlos at May 18, 2005 11:12 AM (8e/V4)

26 Carlos, Good for you. But rather than playing to my craw you should concentrate on basking in the illuminating light of God. I think God would like Christians to seek a reconciliation with Muslims and VICE VERSA. I believe this is possible. The Pope should convene a meeting of all the religions of the world in an attempt to delineate common ground. Blessed are the Peace Makers. Seek peace and Salvation is yours.

Posted by: greg at May 18, 2005 11:29 AM (/+dAV)

27 Carlos, One last thing. When you feel Satan inside you say with conviction, "Satan in the name of Jesus Christ, LEAVE ME". Then ask God to fill you with his spirit. It works for me.

Posted by: greg at May 18, 2005 11:36 AM (/+dAV)

28 God bless you greg. Good and true words. But the Left (and you) has taken their anti-Bush thing too far-- to the point of glorifying islam and muslims-- just to stick it to the rightwing. And you've actually come to believe it. So we need to shock you with our words in order that you snap out of it. I would only use such words if I knew a brainwashed deluded Lefty (and you) were listening. And I do it for your benefit, (not for that of my fellow rightwingers) because these are words you need to hear so that you fucking snap out of it already.

Posted by: Carlos at May 18, 2005 12:59 PM (8e/V4)

29 Carlos, No one is glorifying muslims, but neither should we demonize them. When you attempt to shock me it only makes you look evil. You live, eat, breath and dream in a state of hate. You must snap out of it and claim your Salvation.

Posted by: greg at May 18, 2005 02:25 PM (/+dAV)

30 greg, muslims are indeed glorified. Just watch Kingdom of Heaven, where every priest is a douchebag and all muslims are noble-- made by a Liberal with an axe to grind. He needs to be shocked bactk into reality, and what better way to do it than by taking a big fat dump on his "noble savage" sacred cow. I know it makes me look evil, but the only proof a Lib needs that I'm evil is that I'm a conservative. So we've decided to go along with it just for the fun of watching it stick in your craw. Ironically, when we call muslims sub-human, etc., we're actually making fun of you, not muslims.

Posted by: Carlos at May 18, 2005 04:21 PM (8e/V4)

31 "Ironically, when we call muslims sub-human, etc., we're actually making fun of you, not muslims."-Carlos Good luck with this outlandish rationilization when you meet your maker. Just tell him all your hatred was just a joke..."Don't you get it God, wink, wink, nudge, nudge?" He'll probably bust a rib - yours.
