Did Al-Newsweek Even Have One Source For Its Firebomb?

I thought the multiple layers of painstaking editorial fact-checking of the MSM required two sources to confirm a story.

Did Al-Newsweek even have one?

Al-Newsweek's original anti-American incitment referred to "sources," but now, having had their asses fact-checked, they refer only to a single source.

And that single source, of course, didn't even actually confirm the story. His "confirmation" was based on his reading an account and not specificially objecting to the the Koran-flushing part.

This is now the MSM's idea of a "confirmation"? A lack of a specific denial by a single source?

And based on that, they run with this sort of incindiary story?

Is there anything, anything at all that can account for this willingness to bend the rules in the appropriate case other than a general and powerful anti-American animus?*

* Or at least anti-American when the wrong party is running the country.

I'm sure there were horror stories that could have been reported regarding Clinton's renditions of terrorists to torture-using states... but, oddly enough, Al-Newsweek, the New York Times, and the rest of the gang had no problem with the practice then, and certainly did not lower its journalistic standards to rush damaging stories about Clinton's renditions into print.

Ace- You are better off reading the original source rather than counting on cursory readings of fellow choir member blogs. The Newsweek article referring to multiple sources refers to multiple events:

Among the previously unreported cases, sources tell NEWSWEEK: interrogators, in an attempt to rattle suspects, flushed a Qur'an down a toilet and led a detainee around with a collar and dog leash.

Note that the sentence refers to previously unreported cases immediately before referring to sources. Then note that the sentence give two (2) examples of such cases. There is no claim here that there was more than one source for any one of these reported cases. This initial paragraph goes on to mention that 10 interragators have been disciplined for mistreatment of prisioners and gives two (2) more examples.

But really all that is irrelevant to the inarguable fact that the US media hates the US. Keep digging champ.

See, Ace? ^
The Newsweek story was fake but accurate.

renditions of terrorists to torture-using states

A variation on this is actually common practice here in the U.S. If a serial killer has killed people in two different states, and only one of those states has the death penalty, guess which one they get tried in first?

In some respects, this is like vegetarians who wear leather shoes, drive cars with leather seats, and eat glue made from dead horses. Not to mention their Volvos that use tires, oil, and gasoline made from dead animals.

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.
