2006 Blog and Media Awards

Honest Reporting

The 2006 Dishonest Reporter of the Year is Adnan Hajj, for digitally altering photos to make the Israeli bombing of Southern Lebanon appear worse than it was. Reuters removed 920 of Hajj's photos during the embarassing scandal.

Honest Reporting has many other award winners, too, like Worst News Executive, Worst Buzzword, Retration of the Year, and Worst Caption.

Jihad Watch

Robert Spencer's Jihad Watch has announced its Dhimmi and Anti-Dhimmi Awards 2006. The American Dhimmi of the Year 2006 is Jimmy Carter. The site also lists their winners for Dhimmi International, Anti-Dhimmi American and International.

For those who have forgotten, here is the definition of Dhimmi:

Dhimmitude is the status that Islamic law, the Sharia, mandates for non-Muslims, primarily Jews and Christians. Dhimmis, "protected people," are free to practice their religion in a Sharia regime, but are made subject to a number of humiliating regulations designed to enforce the Qur'an's command that they "feel themselves subdued" (Sura 9:29). This denial of equality of rights and dignity remains part of the Sharia, and, as such, is part of the law that global jihadists are laboring to impose everywhere, ultimately on the entire human race.

The 2006 Weblog Awards

The Weblog Awards is a large and democratic awards site. Tim Blair has issues with a non-scientific blog getting nominated for best science blog, and LGF has been talking about cheating. The Weblog Awards site says that cheaters will be caught and there will be no affect on the voting.

Little Green Footballs

The 2006 Idiotarian and Anti-Idiotarian Awards are under way.
