Newsweek gets stuck in its plumbing. Plus: Happy Gay Anniversary. What if the Cessna had been shot down? McCarrick once again. And much, much more.

George Neumayr’s “Newsweek Blows Smoke” described mainstream media’s clumsy and often dishonest attempts at undermining world support for American efforts at self-defense and the active advance of freedom as “a cynical game.” Quite correct, but what is the effect of this cynical game?
Superficially, Newsweek and others simply oppose ANY proposal or action taken by a Republican (and Christian) President whether or not such action is proper, logical, moral or necessary. If the same actions were undertaken by a more “favored” political force (however unlikely) Iraq war stories would read more like local high school football coverage. And therein lies the cynicism.
