Ian Fisher

2004

• October 25 -- "Hard-Line," "Strident" Bishops for Bush
Ian Fisher employs some loaded labels to describe the reaction of some Catholic bishops to Kerry's pro-abortion stance.

• July 20 -- With Reporters Bound to Baghdad, War Reporting Suffers
Reporter Ian Fisher speaks candidly about the shortcomings of war reporting and admits we haven't been given a full picture of what's going on in Iraq.

• January 29 -- Hezbollah, an "Organization" of "Pioneers"
Ian Fisher on the anti-Israeli, anti-American terrorist group Hezbollah: "Mr. Tahir has no question whom to thank: Hezbollah, heroes to virtually all of southern Lebanon even if Israel and the United States put the armed Shiite Muslim group on the 'A team' of world terror."

 

• October 23 -- Bad News in Baghdad
Ian Fisher's Baghdad dispatch is headlined "For Hussein's Ouster, Many Thanks, But Iraqis Are Expecting More." Fisher certainly expects a lot: "With Mr. Hussein still at large, with American soldiers dying here almost every day, with no unconventional weapons found, with America's allies reluctant to help, many supporters now justify the war on the grounds that Iraqis are better off and the nation is on the road to stability."

• August 20 -- Terror in Israel, Real and Imagined
Tuesday’s piece by Middle East correspondent Ian Fisher blames “radical” “right-wing” Jewish settlers for hypothetical future attacks on Palestinians. The next day, a Palestinian suicide bomber killed Jewish civilians for real.

• August 14 -- The Times’ “Don’t Name the Victim” Mentality
Ian Fisher’s story from Israel, “2 Suicide Bombers Fulfilled Their Fathers’ Worst Fears,” profiles the fathers of two young terrorist bombers and talks about the anger the boys felt toward Israel. As for the victims: “They killed one Israeli man who was grocery shopping and an 18-year-old army recruit at a bus stop.” So much for the victims.
