According to Ann Coulter in her latest right on the mark column titled “Newsweek Dissembled, Muslims Dismembered!”, Isikoff has a history of protecting the left. So why shouldn’t we be surprised if he took a half-baked, unproven-sourced story and printed it as fact just to hurt the President and Americans in general?

Ann remembers:

When ace reporter Michael Isikoff had the scoop of the decade, a thoroughly sourced story about the president of the United States having an affair with an intern and then pressuring her to lie about it under oath, Newsweek decided not to run the story. Matt Drudge scooped Newsweek, followed by The Washington Post.

When Isikoff had a detailed account of Kathleen Willey’s nasty sexual encounter with the president in the Oval Office, backed up with eyewitness and documentary evidence, Newsweek decided not to run it. Again, Matt Drudge got the story.

When Isikoff was the first with detailed reporting on Paula Jones’ accusations against a sitting president, Isikoff’s then-employer The Washington Post — which owns Newsweek — decided not to run it. The American Spectator got the story, followed by the Los Angeles Times

No, Ann, I’m not surprised at all that this happened.

She adds:

Somehow Newsweek missed the story a few weeks ago about Saudi Arabia arresting 40 Christians for “trying to spread their poisonous religious beliefs.” But give the American media a story about American interrogators defacing the Quran, and journalists are so appalled there’s no time for fact-checking — before they dash off to see the latest exhibition of “Piss Christ.”

You can be danged sure a Newsweek will never be found in this household PERIOD.

See why else Glen at Blackfive.net won’t ever buy a Newsweek.
