US PRESS CONTINUES TO LIE TO AMERICA ABOUT IRAQ

The mainstream media in the United States continues to lie to the American public about the worsening conditions in Iraq. Time and time again you will see pundits and anchors make outlandish claims that things are much better in Iraq since the so-called "surge" was initiated.

Nothing could be further from the truth and the mainstream media in the United States are doing a great disservice to the men and women in the military, their families back in the United States, and to the American public in general.

FOX NEWS is by far the worst. The stations anchors, reporters and pundits go on TV day after day claiming things are getting better in Iraq when just the opposite is true.

The way the American media LIES to the American people is far worse than what Josef Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda for Hitler's Nazi Germany, did during WW 2.

Here is what took place in IRAQ on Thursday, May 1 and anyone that can say things are getting better in Iraq should be taken to the nearest psych ward and admitted before they do anymore harm to people listening to them or to themselves.
