Jimmy Massey Day 10: AP Uncorrected

AP has let another day go by without acknowledging that Jimmy Massey lied about US attrocities, and they ran those lies.

Now Massey's defenders are dipping their pens in ink, starting with Ana Menendez in the Miami Herald. "As for me, I believe Jimmy Massey," Menendez said, then goes on to say Massey is being villified.

She offers no proof to support her belief in him, or that he is being villified, except for this:

I have a hard time understanding what a man like him now has to gain by falsely accusing himself of murder, but I can see a million reasons why Massey's activism might rankle the powerful.

Her very next two words are "Massey's book." Does she not make the connection? Let me spell it out to you, Ana, since you're not seeing it:

1. Vet comes back from Iraq pissed off at the US
2. Vet has desire to be famous, like Cindy Sheehan or John Kerry
3. Vet embellishes, exaggerates, lies
4. Vet writes book
5. Fawning media, including Ana Menendez's by the hundreds, capture his every word without fact-checking anything
6. Vet gets famous
7. Fawning lefties buy books
8. Vet makes money

You'd think they'd teach you in J'school how to figure this stuff out.
