It's always puzzled me, when "undocumented workers" rally, that no one thinks to wrap himself in a big ol' American flag. That's what I'd do if I were trying to ingratiate myself with Americans. Apparently many people think the same thing (see the title of this post, eg). And apparently that gave the editors at the L.A. Times an idea: why just downplay the Mexican flags (see original story) when we could eliminate them altogether?Sheesh.
And in further MSM malfeasance news, the AP, when confronted with outright plagiarism, offers a plausible defense:
We do not credit blogs.
Excellent. It's the journalistic code of the MSM: We don't fact-check our stories (NYT); any actual news we have to report is likely to be cribbed from bloggers (AP); and if we don't like the way you respond to our stories, we'll go back and change the story (LA Times). Love what you've done with your journalistic freedom, guys. Curtsy: ninme.
