TRUTH UNTOLD

Journalist and author Antony Loewenstein:

It is imperative that journalists remember their first duty - to tell the truth.

Journalist and author Antony Loewenstein mangles the truth in the post immediately prior to the one above:

It seems that even military men with an establishment pedigree are questioning current deployments in the Middle East... Fighting wars of "liberation" must be taking its toll.

Unfortunately, the articles Angry Ant links to have nothing to do with military men questioning any current deployments to anywhere.

Earlier in the week Loewenstein had this to say about Bush's attempt to get the New York Times not to run the NSA intercept story:

We now learn, furthermore, that Bush himself called the Times publisher and executive editor to the White House and begged them not to run the story. They clearly refused but questions remain.

Since when do fascists beg? Probably since Loewenstein started making shit up and reporting it as news.

Update: Ant explains the "questioning current deployments" post:

Tongue. In. Cheek.
Get. A. Sense. Of. Humour.
Though, hey, it's possible.

Let's see, where's the humour in his post? The Australian Defence Force? War fighting? The son of a prominent former general getting discharged due to misconduct?

Not. Fucking. Funny.
