TvNewsLIES Headline News

TVNL Editor's Comments: As I go about my daily life I occasionally remind my friends about how stunningly handsome I am. The reason I do this is two fold; one reason is that I am NOT stunningly handsome (I am damn cute however); the other reason is that I am a funny person who is jokes around a lot. Qualities, be they physical, personality based, ethical or other are easily observed; they need not be announced. If a news network has to remind you over and over about how trusted they are or how fair they are, chances are they are they have to remind you because for the obvious reasons you would never make the same assessment. Think about it! – Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLIES.org

· Downing Street Memo should be today's Watergate scandal - Now here is a horrifying scandal: a president who lies to Congress, lies to the country, and drags us into a war of aggression that shows no sign of having an end.
