Example: Keith Olbermann aired a segment tonight about Attorney General Eric Holder’s decision to appoint a special prosecutor (that’s another post) to investigate Bush-era CIA interrogations torture. One of the detainees who figures prominently in the investigation and who figured prominently in Olbermann’s segment was Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. You’ve seen his picture a thousand times. That’s the picture Olbermann used.
He’s a monster, right?
But I remember seeing this picture of Mohammed years ago:
It’s notable that our media — even the “liberals” amongst us – continue to portray people like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in the worst light possible.
