Page One is the New 14
One of the staples of wingnut blogging is that the evil MSM buries good news from Iraq way back “on page 14.”
Here is today’s NY Times (image readily available on the internets):
I can confirm, that the dead-tree edition being sold on the streets of New York right now, features the Baghdad story on the front page.
But not according to Ace:
Nor Glenn Reynolds:
Instapundit.com -
NEW YORK TIMES: “In more than 50 interviews across Baghdad, it became clear that while there were still no-go zones, …Noting the sudden, er, surge of good-news stories from Iraq, reader C.J. Burch emails: “I think some media big wigs are getting nervous about their legacy.”
UPDATE: Or maybe not. Page 14?
(Reynolds’ post is somewhat indirect, but the implication is clear. “Update … Page 14″ Clear enough for Ace, anyway.)
Some people can’t count, can’t read, don’t know how to use the internet, or are too lazy to do anything but repeat the tiredest, most worn-out, convenient cliches.
Ace’s comment thread is quite funny. A few commenters, “trolls,” I suppose, note that the article really was on the front page. But many later commenters simply ignore that, and pile on, supporting Ace’s oh-so clever indictment of the MSM.
