3. This is still virtually unheard of in the US media I've seen
Edited on Wed Mar-17-04 02:02 AM by jpgray
Which is a serious problem. On Cagle's list of toons for today, virtually all the cartoons dealing with the Spanish election made reference to terrorists 'winning' or Zapatero being some kind of 'appeasement' candidate. This is all total bullshit, since Zapatero was elected in more of a reaction to the Popular Party's obfuscation of who was to blame than it is a kowtowing to terrorists. Moreover, Zapatero will hardly be 'appeasing' the terrorists by moving out of Iraq if the US fails to get the UN involved after July 30. You don't hear that, you just hear that Spain is abandoning the US, Zapatero gives in to terror, etc. etc.

This is a dangerous thing to allow the media to misrepresent. I mean, it's a REALLY dangerous thing.
