TVNL Editor's Comments: How many Bush administration issues can you describe using sentences that start with one of the 2 following phrases:

1.      The –fill in the blank- department suppressed vital data…

2.      The Bush administration dismissed the claims of…

Since when is suppressing data not considered lying? Oh…forget it, I know the answer…according to our media…when the Bush administration suppresses data it is not lying. As a matter of fact it is not even noticed, especially when the issue is the suppression of vital information about things that the Bush administration wants to do that will result in mass death, or other harm.

Since when do the media dismiss the claims made by any and all reputable people, institutions, groups and nations? When the Bush administration decides to dismiss those claims. When do our media validate the claims? They do not. They leave that job up to the Bush administration.

Today’s media acts like a jury that comes to a verdict by asking the accused if he or she is guilty, and then simply takes his or her word for it. The corporate media are the enemy of justice. They are indeed the bad guy who is covering for the bad guy. Think about it! – Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLIES.org

· Special Report: The Rush to Invade Iraq-; The Ultimate Inside Account - Throughout the spring and fall of 2002 and well into 2003 I received numerous complaints from friends and colleagues in the intelligence community, and from people in the policy community, about (how the Bush administration handled the intelligence). According to them, many Administration officials reacted strongly, negatively, and aggressively when presented with information or analyses that contradicted what they already believed about Iraq... Intelligence officers who presented analyses that were at odds with the pre-existing views of senior Administration officials were subject to barrages of questions and requests for additional information. They were asked to justify their work sentence by sentence... The Administration gave greatest credence to accounts that presented the most lurid picture of Iraqi activities. In many cases intelligence analysts were distrustful of those sources, or knew unequivocally that they were wrong. But when they said so, they were not heeded; instead, they were beset with further questions about their own sources.
