3 Americans died in Iraq today....not a word on the news!
This morning, while listening to NPR 'news' - I heard a three second announcement that TWO, not THREE American military deaths in Iraq. The statement was hurriedly made right before the weather report. Ten minutes of other 'news' precended the statement. No details were given, only the brief mention was made...and this was NPR, not a corporate news network.
I rushed to find more details on the Internet. AP Breaking haad no mention. Excite and Yahoo new said nada. CNN was blank. I located the details on a CHINA NEWS site....which had the details of an AP account of the deaths. I submitted the story to TvNewsLies.org
Folks...a link will be on the TVNL news page, if you want the details. We're in a news blackout. NOTHING about the occupation of Iraq, nothing about Afghanistan, (2 Americans killed there, as well) - nothiing about recounts in Ohio and NH. We're in deep, deep trouble. The media... ALL OF IT....is playing ball with the White House. Understand that, fight back, get the truth from any alternative source that offers it, spread the word, and there may be hope.
Link to the WAR news on TVNL if you're interested in what's going on:
http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#war It seems to have been "locked" for the below reason:
...until it's reported by a reputable news outlet, it's not considered Latest Breaking News and is not allowed in this forum. People can put whatever they want on the internet, and whilst mainstream journalism is questionable, alternate sources are even moreso.

I just made a Google-search of the following phrase: "Iraqi teenagers dragged two bloodied U.S. soldiers from a wrecked vehicle and pummeled them with concrete blocks Sunday, witnesses said, describing the killings as a burst of savagery in a city once safe for Americans" and got 308 hits, including many from "mainstream journalists".
