My friends at Davids Medienkritik take a look at a moonbat smear in Germany. ...

FAZ's Dishonest Smear Targets Malkin - Bloggers
Nina Rehfeld's Attempted Hit Job - Or How it Backfired
(By Ray D.)

A small German blog recently chronicled a particularly suspect article authored by correspondent Nina Rehfeld for the FAZ (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung - one of Germany's most respected daily papers). The piece, entitled "Debacle for the Online Sniper" can only be described as a hit job gone terribly wrong. The "online sniper" in question is none other than journalist and top blogger Michelle Malkin:  [image]

The FAZ piece reads as follows (our translation - this is the entire article):

"Blogs
Debacle for the Online Sniper
By Nina Rehfeld, Phoenix

[...]

Memo to FAZ: The Outcry is Not Silenced

Rehfeld would be right if the only aspect of the AP story brought into question by bloggers was the existence of source Jamil Hussein. In reality, there are two elements of the original AP story that remain controversial: The first, Mr. Hussein's reported claim that four mosques were "destroyed" in sectarian violence, has been proven demonstrably false. The second, that six Iraqi Sunnis were burned alive as Iraqi soldiers looked on, remains uncorroborated and has been disputed by other sources. Bloggers continue to discuss both - Ms. Rehfeld completely fails to acknowledge the controversy surrounding either.

If Michelle's an online sniper, what am I?
Posted By Uncle Jimbo

MM has a piece up where David's Medienkritik takes apart a report published in the Frankfurt papers. It's the same garbahj about the AP's Jamil Husseining, and the many gaping holes still remaining in their reports. MM wiped up the floor with them many times, yet this reporter parrots AP's lies to an audience unlikely to have access to the real story.

My question is, if MM is an online sniper, what am I?

I like the implication that she puts precision-aimed fire on well-defined targets, but I am a bit more of a blunt instrument than that.

Online attack helicopter- I like the gun on the Apache that swivels when the pilot turns his head.

Online A-10 Warthog- The growl of that gun and the scunion it rains down are tempting too ...
