Shortly after the London Tube bombings in 2005, a reader of Tim Blair, the Sydney Daily Telegraph’s columnar wag, sent him a note-perfect parody of a typical newspaper headline: “British Muslims Fear Repercussions Over Tomorrow’s Train Bombing.”

Indeed. And so it goes. This time round — Bombay — it was the Associated Press that filed a story about how Muslims “found themselves on the defensive once again about bloodshed linked to their religion.”

And, here’s the astonishingly obtuse feckless headline from that NYT article: Brooklyn Rabbi and Wife Caught in Attacks. An especially feckless example of agenda-driven propaganda, disguised as journalism, when, as Steyn reports:

The sole surviving “militant” revealed that the Jewish center had been targeted a year in advance.

Sigh.
