3 Americans died in Iraq today....not a word on the news!

[veracity]

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:

1. Yes, finding news regarding Iraq is being trumped by silly news like

Dan Rather stepping down as lead anchor. I guess the masses still enjoy their frivolousness as long as no one they know is dying. When I get down, I just think of those missing WMD's joke that Bush did, it lifts my spirits....LOL..looking under the oval office couch..that was tasteful...NOT.

2. As more soldiers die . . .

the newsworthyness of each individual death will decrease.

Eventually they won't be reported at all.

3. Well OF course...

Sheesh we got a whole bunch of men and women over there, whats 3?
OF course Dan Rather is more important silly!

MEDIA IN AMERICA IS SOO FUCKED UP!!! WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TRUTH SEEKERS, THE TRUE SLEUTHS!!! WHAT HAPPENED TO REAL NEWS!!

4. I hate to tell you this, but...

...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.
