Javed Iqbal Cheema + Fox News Channel = Best buds

If you haven't been following media coverage of Benazir Bhutto's assassination at the hands of the Pakistani government, it's been pretty goddamn hilarious.  Javed Iqbal Cheema, the "Interior Ministry Spokesman" for the Musharraf government, has been busy at work making Baghdad Bob look like a patron saint of truth-telling.  Fox News has lapped up his every rezonkulous claim and regurgitated his unchecked words as "headlinable fact."  Witness:





If you look at their coverage splash from a few days ago, the following UNCHECKED FACTS become undisputed rightwinger currency:

  1. Al Qaida himself sent a bomber to shoot at/frighten Benazir Bhutto
  2. Benazir Bhutto was so scared by the bomb that she hit her head on a sunroof lever and died immediately
  3. "The government says" is good enough, even when said government is pretty decent at routinely being FUCKING LIARS.
I honestly am a little glad that the guy who writes the headlines onto AP images at FoxNews got his chance to put over the official government (our government) line:  "Whatever the Pakistani government says is what the U.S. government's media wing reports, just like 'whatever the U.S. government says is what the U.S. government's media wing reports,' only funnier."  You decide.

Here's the video showing the shirt on Bhutto's back painted red with her own blood, in perfect sync with gunshots ringing out.  Good thing the Pakistani government has assured us that everything will be cleared up once they exhume her and send us a written transcript (no media!!!~) of the re-autopsy.  I was confused.
