Editor’s Comments - http://tvnewslies.org/blog

TVNL Editor's Comments: Santa Clause will be ringing the closing bell at the NYSE today. I think that is the perfect example of how Americans love to live in a fantasy land. The less reality the better.

The notion of ignorance being bliss is alive and well in the United States. Is it any wonder why CNN is the most trusted name in news? Do you see a connection there? Think about it! – Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLIES.org

QUESTION: Have you forwarded this e-mail to anyone today? Consider doing so for you will be helping to inform the people of this nation about the vital issues that are hidden from them by our corporate media. Make this nation a better place, educate, inform and enlighten your fellow citizens!

If you believe that the American corporate media are our greatest enemy let the people know how you feel.
