#1 Um hum. I suspected exactly this. Dead collaborators families. Boo hoo.

Will the MSM trumpet the truth as loudly as they did the lies? Don't hold your breath.

#3 Who is accountable for slandering the troops? The military has an extensive system of accountability, but not the MSM.

#4 But previously unaired video

But, but but. Nope. MSM will continue to play the staged spin story and disregard facts. As always.

And the islamists know they will. They're counting on it and more of these misreports and staged events are coming down the pipeline.

They'll be mixed in with provocative events much like the Pal kiddies sent to attack with "toy" guns in hopes of creating an incident of outrage or the guy driving pregnant women to their death playing chicken with checkpoints. It's the newest tactic.

And until MSM can get their minds around the fact they're being circle-jerked, we're in for a bumpy ride.

#7 I can't take credit for it. The Rottweiler started it and even has a T-shirt that I will have to buy with that on there.

#9 Journalist, tree, and rope indeed.

I don't know how else we are supposed to react to unwarranted opposition to our civil authorities and our elected government by the media. It's not just political opposition here. Everyone is entitled to that. You are not however entitled to active subversion and support for our mortal foes.

The fact is the media are not investigated and
vetted the way that they claim to investigate everyone and everthing else. The repetition of lies like "Bush stole the election, twice" "Geroge Bush attacked Iraq because Saddam was involved in 9/11" the "Bush lied people died". Out right lies made and repeated as facts. The credulous who just happen to live in all the major urban areas of this nation take these lies as truth. They believe them. The Media is accountable to no one asnd the cover up for each other. This can't continue.

Rope. Tree. Journalist. indeed. Treason in war time is a crime deserving the death peanalty.

#11 If you look at the video in the BBC article I posted to earlier and the stills of the dead kids, you'll see that they probably aren't filmed on the same day. The video is taken on an overcast day while the pictures of the dead kids is taken on on a very bright day, probably in the winter was my guess from the shadows. The kids were probably caught either in a bombing unrelated to the American operation or just in a collapsed house (which happens all the time in those parts).
