I don't think I complained about the posting. The point was directed at the idea of making Fischer's comments News, as in `in the News'. So, to re-reiterate, if I wanted to discredit a public position, I would go looking for the worst version and most obnoxious spokesperson and put them out in front as News.
The intention was to point out the propaganda advantage that such ludicrous commentary offers its opposition. In this case, then all opposition to US foreign policy responses to 9/11 can be smeared via Fischer as more examples of hate america-first, anti-semitic, conspiratorist, weirdos.
Whatever.
