Media bias? Huh, what?

Nah, the MSM isn't made up of a bunch of rabid, left-wing, anti-Semites. Uh, yeah, right. That's why they're giving Ahmedinajean the red-carpet treatment. (Hijacked from Hot Air):

It’s the luncheon part that’s so precious. Listening to him speak is disgusting enough but that at least can be spun as knowing thine enemy. To follow the session with a jolly repast just points up how casually they’re treating it. Watch him show off his just-asking-questions Holocaust dance moves, then knock back a glass of wine and some strip steak. It’s dinner theater. What filth.

LGF also notes that the latest word from Iranian media is that he’s still coming to Ground Zero. That contradicts what the Iranian mission in NYC said last night and what Bloomberg told a radio show this morning, but Tehran would obviously know his plans better than they would. If he goes down there, prepare to see the photos of it included in every last campaign post I write from now until the election, all of them emblazoned with the “Brought to you by the RNC” motto. Just my little contribution to the mass scalp-taking that’s going to occur among Republicans if they let this fiasco happen.

Update: Cowboy diplomacy!

Nah, nothing to see here. Just your usual left-wing media cozying up to terrorists. Same old, same old.

How dare the media coddle this anti-Semite who wants to blow Isarel off the map? Oh, wait. My bad. It's Israel that's the terrorist state. They're the ones who crashed the planes on 9/11. They're the ones who blow up innocent men, women and children with suicide bombs, because that's what their Qur'an tells them to do. It's Israel that is trying to get nukes so they can wipe out the Middle East. And Ahmedinajean is a good little choir boy. Yeah, right.

Ahmedinajean told to stay away from Ground Zero

Poor Mahmoud Ahmedinejean! (via al-AP):

NEW YORK (AP) — A request by Iran's president to lay a wreath at the World Trade Center site next week has been turned down by police and blasted by U.S. diplomats as an attempt to turn ground zero into a "photo op."

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who is to arrive Sunday to address the U.N.'s General Assembly, asked the city and the U.S. Secret Service earlier this month for permission to visit the site of the Sept. 11 attacks.

The request to enter the fenced-in site was rejected because of ongoing construction there and due to security concerns, police spokesman Paul Browne said Wednesday.

White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe said a visit to ground zero "is a matter for the city of New York, but it seems more than odd that the president of a country that is a state sponsor of terror would visit ground zero."

Mohammad Mir Ali Mohammadi, spokesman for the Iranian mission to the U.N., said he was not notified officially that Ahmadinejad would not be allowed at the site, but said it was unfortunate.

"President Ahmadinejad intended to lay a wreath at the site of ground zero in order to pay tribute to the victims of the terrorists attack of Sept. 11, 2001. We are hopeful that we can still work something out with the police department," he said.

Really! I mean, all he wanted to do was honor the lives of the brave martyrs in Allah's Army, who murdered a bunch of dirty kuffars in the war of global Islamization. Is that so wrong?
