According to <em>The Narrative</em>, everything Beauchamp reported was true, even if it wasn't accurate. It fits their view of violent, illiterate rednecks serving in an illegal war designed to inflict suffering on brown people and make money for Chimpy Mc Halliburton. This the gospel according to the bi-coastal, leftist media, and all the documentation, proof, and facts in the world will never change it. Why would they correct anything?

I read it occasionally for a good laugh. It's bad enough that the OC Register is starting to lean left. Especially with Columnists like Yvette Cabrera who is an illegal sympathizer (surprise!)

The people who read and believe those types of stories are typically Lefties who are frothing at the mouth for those stories anyway, and the Conservatives who read those stories and react to them are just making news for the Times by keeping them in the 'news'. The Times should report the news, not BE the news. I haven't picked up a newspaper in 5 years. (Chicago Sun Times, another Progressive rag.) They're all just garbage. The only place to get real news with limited spin these days is on the internet. I guess it's important to 'know your enemy', so I can see why people might want to read the times, but reporting on the errors they spew could develop into a full time job. I'll pass.

Times columnists, Rutten among them, are encouraged to use their columns as forums for their fact-based assessments of news events. His assessments might not match yours, but that doesn't mean that his assessments warrant correction." I think that really explains it all. They are not interested in printing FACTS, they are the Dan Rather of print. “L.A.

Un. Freaking. Believable.

As one who spent most of his life in Southern California before finally moving to the United States for political asylum last year, I beg to differ. This is the same “news” paper that has convinced itself that a reversal of Roe v. Wade would outlaw abortion, that there is “no bar” to any resident of State X purchasing a prohibited gun in State Y, and that just because a voter initiative says that “only a marriage between a man and a woman is valid and recognized in California,” that doesn’t mean that only a marriage between a man and woman is valid and recognized in California. And that’s just naming a few examples my crappy little blog has documented; Patterico has documented many, many more during the same period.

Given their track record, unfreakingbelievable would be if they actually corrected a story like this one.

They, like the rest of the MSM and the majority of the Democratic party have a vested interest in seeing our soldiers as either victims or perpetrators, and the GWOT (and specifically the war in Iraq) as a failure. They can’t admit that they lied or were wrong. Jim C It really doesn’t surprise me that they won’t correct their errors.
