Michell Malkin With Proof The AP Provides Exciting Fiction

When first beginning this blog, Shooting the Messenger meant discrediting and/or laughing at liberal news from the liberal media. That lasted a day or two. The more I read badly written, or religion looking for an outlet disguising itself as an eclectic Conservative web log, or RINO bigwigs wanting a piece of the action, the more it became necessary to take aim at the preachers and screechers who declared themselves to be seated at the right side of the aisle and agenda-free save for the protection of the Republic. The links dwindled to exlude the hallelujah chorus and the professors of the painfully obvious, and I couldn't bear the clueless either so they went to link heaven too. I've kept LGF and Malkin out and about because it's silly to exclude the top of the food chain even if they remain johnny one-note's. It is impossible for one or two people to follow each and every item of interest on a daily basis, and I can understand why LGF focuses upon the moslem menace. But proprietor Charles is an Anti and it is difficult to advertise a gun-hater no matter how pretty his work looks otherwise, and the enemy of my enemy is my associate but never a friend.

Malkin is another story. As part of the Pajama Media gang, the kneejerk reaction cound have been banishment but even if people only spend 10 or 15 seconds at her site, they spend it en masse, and the gal-bloggers are always going to accumulate the most hits no matter how pigeon-holed they are. She keeps a wary eye on islam and the loons in D.C., but there isn't one big name female blogger that can profess a true love for the Constitution because they MUST remain as middle of the road as possible in order to appeal to the masses.

Because let's face it, we ain't the masses. We're the fringe, the nutcases, the blowhards, the gun-owners who are ridiculed by the left, and for the most part ignored by the big right. It'd take an act of Congress for me to go spend my money in D.C. for a "conservative" shindig, but that's where the boys and girls who are outside the trenches go to party, leaving us to man the front lines. We do this without hesitation, but rely upon them for logistic support and when said support is not forthcoming out comes the quibble-stick.

Ms Malkin was in Iraq. The story of hers in todays NY Post features evidence that certain AP stories were fictional accounts, and this is not only old "news" it's so-what "news" to the fortunate few that need no reminder of how insidious the Associated Press can be. But the fence-sitters pay the bills and just in case they weren't aware of such goings on, Ms Malkin reiterates the obvious.

DESTROYED - NOT

LURID AP REPORT ON IRAQ OUTRAGE DOESN'T CHECK OUT

January 21, 2007 -- "WELL, the Iraqi Ministry of Interior says disputed Associated Press source Jamil Hussein does exist. But at least one story he told the AP just doesn't check out: The Sunni mosques that as Hussein claimed and AP reported as "destroyed," "torched" and "burned and [blown] up" are all still standing. So the credibility of every AP story relying on Jamil Hussein remains dubious."

Yes; I said it, you said it, we all said it, but she can draw more eyes to the truth.
