The Washington Times' Propaganda At It's Finest


Media Matters printed an article by Adam Shah pointing out that The Washington Times printed an article by Frank J. Gaffney Jr. regarding Elana Kagan, claiming she supported Islam at Harvard but not the military.  The article was accompanied by a doctored photo of Kagan in a turban with no mention that the photo is a fake.  Shah indicates that the doctored photograph came from a 2003 file photo provided by Harvard University.


Ian Milhiser from Think Progress also wrote about this photo:
Six days ago, after Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) absurdly tried to link Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan to “oppressive tenets of Shari’a-type law,” The Wonk Room’s Matt Duss jokingly predicted that anti-Islamic bigot Frank Gaffney would “claim[] that Elena Kagan ‘may still be a Muslim.’” Sadly, Duss’ prediction largely came true this week. In a Washington Times op-ed run alongside a doctored photo of Kagan in a turban.
They say history repeats itself:
