You can tell can’t you? Simply watching Lester Holt on NBC News tonight glow every time he mentioned the name is a enough to see that the MSM has a solid love affair with Mahmoud, and it’s been going on a while.

Time magazine wrote this glowing tribute to this tyrant last year:

“Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a President unlike any other Iran has known: belligerent, naive, at once a fundamentalist and nationalist, and a dark genius at mobilizing Iranian public opinion. In the first year of his presidency, he has risen out of obscurity to become one of the most troublesome and noteworthy leaders in the world. His uncompromising stand on his country’s right to enrich uranium has increased the threat of further turmoil in the Middle East and edged the U.S. and Iran closer to a military confrontation than ever before in recent times.”

Drips with rose colored petals doesn’t it?

That Columbia - the school of journalism would risk funding to host this man is understandable as it simply reflects the MSM’s delight with any enemy of the US. Whether it’s Fidel Castro, Saddam Hussein (CNN made a deal remember?), they simply adore those who would destroy America if given the chance.

The fact that the Dean of Columbia would even let Hitler speak tells you volumes about how far the media has sank in America.

UPDATE: Mahmoud makes the Kos Kids “swoon” too!
