From Roto-Reuters:

Muslims skeptical over Newsweek back-track on Koran:

The report in Newsweek's May 9 issue sparked protests across the Muslim world from Afghanistan, where 16 were killed and more than 100 injured, to Pakistan, India, Indonesia and Gaza.

Newsweek said Sunday the report might not be true.

Yet another screw-up by a major news source who, it would appear, rushed a story to press before validating the data. These folks should really stop embarrasing themselves this way.

Not to mention:

The report in Newsweek's May 9 issue sparked protests across the Muslim world from Afghanistan, where 16 were killed and more than 100 injured, to Pakistan, India, Indonesia and Gaza.

I hope they're right proud of themselves.

Retractions do nothing for credibility. And right now, there isn't a news source we can really trust at all, save for BLOGS.
Sure. You'll definitely get opinion leaning right or left, but at least you'll know it up front.


Update: Let me just clarify one thing. Even though Newsweek screwed up, I think the towelheads are causing a big raucous just as an excuse to cuase a raucous.
They'll come up with any excuse to go crazy and try to kill people or blow themselves up.

Morons.
