Guide For Media On How To Rationalize Islamist Dictatorships By Barry Rubin
The AP explains things to us as if they were the Hamas public relations department. This is not only bad journalism, not only a shamefully slanted apologia for Hamas, but a real case study of how the Western media is totally taken in by dictatorships (or at least the ones that are anti-American). AP doesnt seem to get the rather obvious point that if there is no sign of Hamas imposing rule of Islamism in Gaza it is because people get the hint.

RIGHT. THEY ADJUST BY ACTING LIKE SUBJECTS OF THE TALIBAN. AND THE REPORTER BELIEVES THIS PROVES THAT THEY HAVE FREEDOM.
