Thuggery and Press Conferences

By Brian C. Ledbetter · Thursday, April 26. 2007 10:52
Another day, another terrorist press conference. You've gotta love how far the press will go to fawn over these thugs.

A handful of photographers sent photographs over the wires of this farce, but of all of them, Reuters is characteristically short on details. Can you guess what Mohammed Salem left out of his captions? I'll be dropping more hints following the break, if you're interested!

Be sure to check out our previous coverage of terrorist press conferences as well. This isn't the first time that the press has gotten the vapours over a group closely resembling the dreaded Ku Klux Klan.


Okay, so what's the big deal? You figured out what Mohammed is leaving out yet?

I know, it's not obvious.

Thankfully, one of the photographers on-scene decided to actually enlighten us a bit. You know, as in doing some actual reporting?

You just can't make this stuff up.

The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.
