In the case of the Danish cartoons the MainStreamMedia bows down, and in so doing hides the triviality of the complaint by hiding how tame the cartoons really are as well as failing to report on the fakes that fuel the faux outrage. In the case of the AP photographs, one of the monoliths of the MainStreamMedia is hiding it's own collaborative propagandist efforts by hiding that very propaganda from criticism. It's really no different then Mark Steyn being sued for quoting the Jihadists, only the excuse to attack varies slightly, but the intent to evade criticism for naked support of terrorism is the same. Youtube's bowing to Pakistan is simply another example... Today's example?

In the case of the AP photographs, one of the monoliths of the MainStreamMedia is hiding it’s own collaborative propagandist efforts by hiding that very propaganda from criticism.

It’s really no different then Mark Steyn being sued for quoting the Jihadists, only the excuse to attack varies slightly, but the intent to evade criticism for naked support of terrorism is the same.

Youtube’s bowing to Pakistan is simply another example…

Today’s example?
“AP Blares: “33 Palestinians Killed in Clashes” — and, um, by the way, they started it” – Andrew McCarthy

This particular law suit needs to have some serious lawyers step up to the line to insure the very best minds are working for everyone's "fair use" of materials.

AP may know this but just the threat of a lawsuit is enough to shut most people up even if the plaintiff is on shaky legal ground. It's time to create a loser pay all system for lawsuits in this country. That would weed out a lot of the frivolous lawsuits that plague our court system, and put regular people on more of an even playing field, since it may make lawyers more likely to defend people against frivolous lawsuits who may not have the means to pay.
