Friedman and his ilk (very sad hack piece)

So what else do you expect from the Arab News?

One of the scariest things I've heard Friedman say, and which I absolutely believe, is the influence of the Internet in Arab countries. He says that time and again, when he tries to convince Arabs that the widely-held belief that 4000 Jews were warned off the Twin Towers on Sept 11th is ridiculous, just try to think how word would have gone out all over by the time the 10th person was called, he gets the same answer: "But Mr. Friedman, it must be true. I read it on the Internet." He wrote a column on this phenomenon called, "Global Village Idiocy."
