MSM propaganda watch - “Magic Bullet Lady”
I read this on Michelle Malkin and all I could do was smile.
I’ve said it before but it’s worth repeating. Although the right wing blogsphere is not quite as politically influential as the left overall it clearly is better at exposing MSM “bullshit.”
I don’t understand why the MSM still tries to pass off frauds like this story over the net with bloggers like LGF, Malkin, Blackfive and countless others on the case exposing the left at virtually every turn.
Props to all right leaning blog homies big and small!

Caption: AFP/Yahoo!News Caption: Tuesday August 14, 2007: An elderly Iraqi woman shows two bullets which she says hit her house following an early coalition forces raid in the predominantly Shiite Baghdad suburb of Sadr City. At least 175 people were slaughtered on Tuesday and more than 200 wounded when four suicide truck bombs targeted people from an ancient religious sect in northern Iraq, officials said.(AFP/Wissam al-Okaili)Yes, the blogosphere lit up today over the above photograph (it’s still up on Yahoo!News here). If you haven’t already spotted the error, see Rocco DiPippo, Hot Air, Blackfive, Bob Owes, Jim Hoft, Snapped Shot, and LGF.
Reader DWS, one of our troops in Iraq who works in ammo inspections, e-mails me tonight:
I’m over here in Iraq right now. I’ve seen that picture of the Lady with the two unspent rounds. To me they don’t look like the stuff we use, I swear those are AK-47 rounds. I work in AMMO and I have inspected and handled thousands of 5.56mm ammo, M-16 ammo. It’s thinner than those rounds. Those aren’t even ours.
More scrutiny of the ammo question at QandO.
Much more at Michelle Malkin
