bad press

LGF’s Charles Johnson writes the headline of the year  [e.a.]:

Taliban Commits Mass Murder, AP Publishes Their Press Release

I suspect the AP must have rewritten the story since he provided the link, because the version he posted starts like this [e.a.]:

KABUL, Afghanistan - Militants with suicide vests, grenades and AK-47 rifles attacked Kabul’s most popular luxury hotel Monday evening, killing at least two people in a coordinated assault rarely seen in the Afghan capital, witnesses and a Taliban spokesman …told the AP.

The version of the story that’s up at the link starts like this:

KABUL, Afghanistan - Militants stormed Kabul’s most popular luxury hotel Monday, killing at least six people as they hunted down Westerners who cowered in a gym — a coordinated assault that could signal a new era of brazen Taliban attacks.

And the story is told from the p.o.v. of the victims and survivors this time. The “militant” perpetrators’ “spokesman” is still quoted, though.

Kudos to Charles Johnson for going where the MSM won’t go: on the attack against enemy propaganda.
