LGF : Did Ogun Samast Shout "I shot the Infidel!"?
LGF has been covering the story of what motivated the killer of Turkish journalist Hrant Dink. Early reports of the story included an eyewitness report that the killer, Ogun Samast, shouted "I shot the infidel!" or "I shot the non-Muslim!" as he fled the scene. (Given that Mr. Samast is unlikely to have shouted it in English, either translation is likely pretty close.) If Ogun Samast did say something to this effect, and if Ogun Samast is a Muslim, then the killing of Hrant Dink would appear to be another religiously-motivated killing in the vein of Theo van Gogh.

Most of these early reports have since been quietly edited to remove the "infidel" quote.
Now, if the early reports have been edited because the early reports have since been shown to be in error, don't the news agencies have an obligation to correct any misperceptions that may have been created by the earlier erroneous reports?

Had to dig deep (para 11) to find an interesting tidbit in this Irish Examiner article:
"Police also detained six other suspects in Trabzon, including Yasin Hayal, a man convicted in the bombing of a McDonald's restaurant in Trabzon in 2004, whom police believe may have incited the attack, Turkish news reports said. Hayal was alleged to be an Islamic militant and said he learned to make bombs from Chechen militants at a camp in Azerbaijan. The bomb injured six passers-by and was apparently an attack aimed at punishing the US.
All six were also flown to Istanbul and police were investigating whether the teen had ties to a group.
Born in 1990, Samast would be a minor, raising questions about whether he could have been put up for the job by someone who hoped he could get away with a much lesser sentence, intelligence expert Bulent Orakoglu said in an interview on CNN-Turk.
Orakoglu and other analysts also questioned whether the attack against Dink could have links to the murder by a teenager of a Catholic priest in Trabzon last year. "

Turks are as they ever were; murdering animals in need of extermination, just like all other islamopithicenes.

Leftwing troll at #2.
While the role of journalism in muslim countries is to whip into a frenzy the angry muslim street, in the West the MSM see themselves as "minders" who keep the American street in check. Reporting islamopethecine murders is too much unvarnished truth for a libturd to report. You see, Libturds don't trust the "masses" (their word). We of the American street simply can't handle the truth, and hearing the unfiltered facts might stir us to support a war on terror, for example, or even a genocide against the muslim people!!! Anything can set us off. That's why the MSM libturds EDIT the truth, they don't report it. So whereas they report the "unvarnished truth" when it suits their agenda (underming American morale in Iraq), they will edit the facts also if that suits their agenda. Thats how the libturd MSM thinks. They are everything they claim to hate. Orwell is rolling in his grave.
