WaPo blames antiwar activists for Fort Hood shooting

The pop-up media takes another step towards making itself irrelevant.

You'd expect deliberately misleading propaganda from the Washington Times, but not from the Washington Post - which was once a respectable paper. Then again, the Post displayed its own right-wing bias in the mid-2000s when it started a conservative blog but no parallel liberal blog. (The right-wing blog was quickly discontinued because of its plagiarism.)

A headline in the Washington Post yesterday blared, "Fort Hood attack is 3rd this year by antiwar radicals targeting military on U.S. soil."

How does the article back up this claim? Because "terrorism experts said."

Ooh, "experts." That narrows it down.

But the Post's claim is contradicted almost immediately, as the article reports, "Investigators are seeking to determine the motivations of the Fort Hood suspect." In other words, they don't even know whether the suspect had any views on the war that were a factor in the shooting.

There's no evidence that any of the 3 incidents referenced in the headline had any connection whatsoever to the antiwar movement.

Meanwhile, the media continues to ignore the story of the pro-war terrorists who burned down a family's house in Harrisonburg, Virginia.
