The left-wing critics of Fox News have seized on a memo from an official of the channel telling correspondents to be on the lookout for any statements from Iraqi terrorist groups thrilled by the Democratic takeover of the U.S. Congress. It turns out that al Qaeda in Iraq did issue a statement welcoming the Democratic victory. Isn't this newsworthy? Shouldn't news executives have been on the look-out for a blockbuster story like this?
An AP story by Christopher Bodeen and published on November 11 declared: "The head of al Qaeda's Iraq operations yesterday gloated in a new audio tape over the resignation of Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and praised U.S. voters for punishing President Bush and the Republicans in Tuesday's midterm elections."
