ABC News published an AP story today about Turkish prosecutors seeking sentences of up to 7.5 years in prison for 18 journalists they accuse of engaging in terror propaganda for publishing photos showing a militant pointing a gun at a prosecutor who was killed in a failed hostage rescue operation in March.

Since there is no picture to clue us in, we assume by default the story is about terror propaganda coming from ISIS, Al-Qaeda, or similar Islamic group. After reading the first two paragraphs, the impression remains. And only in the third paragraph of this four-paragraph story do we see the word "leftist."

Yahoo News, however, reprint a more detailed AFP (Agence France-Presse) story that mentions the group's name, Marxist Revolutionary People's Liberation Party–Front (DHKP-C). But still no visual to give the readers a clue.

A deeper search for the background story has led us to this older Breitbart article and the UK Mirror story from the time of the actual standoff. What do you know? Except for the gun, the Che-Guevara chic characters and scenery and aren't much different from those of an Obama campaign war room, or an actual Ohio Judge office, or even the good old Communists for Kerry.

Here's the image of terrorism the mainstream media in the U.S. would rather not let the readers see, lest it makes them reconsider the attractiveness the Glorious World of Next Tuesday:

Here's a somewhat similar image from the glorious Stalin's days when it wasn't called terrorism, but rather caring guidance by the people's government. "I have seen the future and it works," wrote one American journalist about the USSR. And NYT's own Walter Durante even received a Pulitzer for exactly not showing or mentioning such visuals.

Pulitzer prizes for not reporting or showing images? What comes next, Nobel Peace Prizes for publishing an autobiography?

The 2009 Peace Prize was given for doing exactly diddly-squat, so ... yeah, probably. (I'm sure the Committee will think of even more ways to further cheapen it.)

Ivan, I've heard nowadays that you can get Peace Prizes for sending troops to war!

"Who loves ya, baby?" -- The Left

Nobel.Peace Prize for doing absolutely nothing except being a legend in your own mind has been done already!

Comrades, one may be nominated for a Peace Prize for simply noticing micro-aggressions. There is nothing cheap about that!
