"It's Been 2 Years Since the End of Major Fighting in Iraq" says cnn lady |
|
she just tossed that sentence off so effortlessly as she began a report on the war. only problem is, it's a lie, a distortion, and cheap propaganda.
end of major fighting? is she on the same planet i'm on?

6. So here's my idea -- we attach shock collars to the legs of all print, |
|
radio, and TV corporate media hacks and then - everytime they say something as unbelievably mind-numbingly vacuous as this - we SHOCK 'EM. Not big shocks, just little carpet shocks -- I'm not advocating torture, just a little operant conditioning.
:)
P.S. This propaganda isn't cheap -- it is costing many lives...

9. That's just one or the reasons I've blocked cnn |
|
from my tv. I used to love cnn, if nothing else was on I'd turn it on just to have some noise. They reached a point though, that I couldn't take anymore, so I got out my trusty remote, went to menu and deleted them.

15. By most accounts, the Battle of Najaf |
|
was as intense as some of the other infamous street fights in US military history.
The woman is delusional and stupid. She should have said "It's been more than two years since George Bush declared the end of major combat in Iraq." That's at least an accurate statement.
