Iraqi blogger notices Reuters and AP scare quotes
EFLSeveral 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 âresistanceâ 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 âNo to terrorismâ, âYes for peaceâ, âIraqis stand united against terror and violenceâ, âThanks to CPA soldiersâ, âWe thank the coalition for our FREEDOMâ... 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 Iâve decided to put quotation marks myself on the following erms: ânews âorganizationsâ, âmediaâ, âpressâ, âcoverage, âreporterâ, and âjournalistâ. F*ing morons.
