The Council Has Spoken!
http://www.deanesmay.com/posts/1164988737.shtml


   The Watcher's Council has announced its picks for the most outstanding
   posts of the preceding week. The winning Council post was
   [1]Joshuapundit's post, âGenocide? What Genocide?â, on the situation
   in Darfur. Second place honors went to [2]Right Wing Nut House's post
   âThe Art and Artifice of War Reportingâ.

   War reporting was the favored topic for non-Council winning posts,
   too. The winning non-Council post was [3]Flopping Aces' post, âGetting
   the News from the Enemyâ. The second place non-Council post was my
   nomination, [4]Patterico's Pontifications' post, âIs the L. A. Times
   Repeating Enemy Propaganda?â. I think the answer is âYesâ and very
   clever of our enemies to turn our own news media against us, too. I
   honestly don't believe there's any particular malice on the part of
   the news media in this, however. I attribute this to small overseas
   news budgets (and perhaps lack of willingness on the part of reporters
   to brave the danger and dig for stories), laziness, ingrained habits,
   and, perhaps, a somewhat misplaced desire to search for what's
   referred to as "authenticity".

   For a complete list of the results [5]see here.

   A seat has become available on the Watcher's Council! If you have a
   blog and think you might be interested in becoming a member, [6]see
   here for the prerequisites, duties, and instructions.
