MSM Continue HRW-Soros Cover-up

If a conservative Republican Texas oil man were to fund an organization that opposed Democrats, do you suppose MSM would connect the dots for us? Of course they would! Just look at how they covered the Swift Boats story.

Yet whenever the George Soros-funded organization Human Rights Watch comes up with another hyperventilating story about alleged prisoner abuse by U.S. forces, his connection is no where to be seen in the coverage.

Today, papers all over the world dutifuly reported HRW's questionable and unsubstantiated call for Rumsfield and Tenant to be investigated -- as if they had a role in the activities of a few misfits and wayward souls at Abu Ghraib. In story after story, no mention of Soros was made. Not in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, or Associated Press.

It's too early for Nexis to have Sunday papers in the US up, but a search of "human rights watch" and "soros" yieled no hits in any English-language paper from London to Singapore.

In case you're wondering just what the HRW-Soros connection is, here's something from an earlier CSM post:

Who is the HRW money man? George Soros, with help from prominent lefty-foundations including Ford, McArthur and Rockefeller.

Who runs it? George Soros and his friends.

Also on the board, Soros' publisher, Peter Osnos, Chief Executive of Public Affairs, a Soros publication, that traces its roots back to I.F. Stone, Ben Bradlee and Robert Bernstein (also a HRW board member), and chair Jane Olson, a long-time pacifist activist who cut her teeth arguing against nuclear arms while Reagan was using Pershing missiles in Europe as a strategy to crush the Bear.
