It's an interesting theory. The media industry is as prone to bias and error as any other, I suppose.

Keep in mind that almost every theory has some appeal in the abstract. Good theories are distinguished from the bad ones only by examining them in the light of known and probable facts.

In this case, we would have to dredge up specific media reports and news summaries, examine them for error, and then try to determine whether those particular errors caused people to have anti-U.S. sentiments that they otherwise would not have had. A very big task.

This post is mainly for those of you who have already expressed certainty that media error is to blame for anti-U.S. sentiment (that would be Jeb Hoge and RTStabler).
