MAINSTREAM MEDIA CONTINUES TO LIE ABOUT THE ONGONG VIOLENCE IN IRAQ

The biggest sellout in the history of journalism has been the mainstream media in the United States who have decided the 160,000 young Americans stuck in Iraq are not worth reporting on anymore and instead are force-feeding politics on the unsuspecting American public.

Only MSNBC this morning mentioned the deaths of four American soldiers in two incidents in Iraq in the past 24 hours while the pathetic FOX NEWS continues to ramble on about the most innocuous garbage ever put on the air on any TV news outlet in the United States.

Below is a list of "security incidents" in Iraq which serve to point out how the mainstream media, with the exception of MSNBC, are lying to the American public about conditions in Iraq.
