Joshua Scharf asks some detailed questions regarding WashPost reporter Molly Moore’s Palestinian sources, and concludes:
the Post is now in the habit of quoting Palestinian terrorists and terrorist sympathizers without disclosing these connections. If Ms. Moore is aware of them, she has no business omitting them. If she wasn’t aware, well, her sloppiness has now been corrected.
Moore is almost certainly aware of these connections, but she doesn’t believe they are worthy of mention. This is a nuts-and-bolts example of how media coverage turns brutal terrorism into just another form of ‘political action’.
