It’s no longer simply the neocon bloggers spreading lies about
Alex Jones. Now the Dallas Morning News has engaged in slander. Mark
Davis, described as a “radio guy and contributing
columnist” to the newspaper’s “opinion blog,”
writes:
Conservative writer and blogger Michelle Malkin was apparently attacked
by violent idiots yesterday, egged on by one of the most repugnant
human beings attending this convention — and the competition
for that title is crowded.
I refer to the cretinous Alex Jones,
who hosts what passes for a radio talk show on a few stations unwise
enough to carry it. His blend of 9/11 conspiracy bunk and other baseless
scaremongering makes him a complete idiot, a designation which gives
him plenty of innocent company. But in shouting “Kill
Michelle Malkin!” at a protest yesterday, he reveals
himself to be not just a dismissible loon, but a despicable soul whom
I would identify as a blight on my industry if I actually considered
him to be a part of it. (Emphasis added.)
In short, according to the Dallas Morning News, Alex Jones called
for Michelle Malkin to be murdered. Infowars, Prison Planet, and no
shortage of blogs and websites have spent the last two days revealing
this for what it is — a complete lie, in fact a neocon dirty
trick.
It really is quite amazing the Dallas Morning News would be so careless.
It has committed libel, as there is plenty of irrefutable evidence
that Alex Jones did not call for Malkin’s murder.
In the opinion of this writer, the Dallas Morning News not only needs
to apologize and print a retraction, it needs to fire Mark Davis for
violating journalistic ethics.
But then I forgot — the corporate media has no ethics.
