TvNewsLIES Headline News

TVNL Editor's Comments: My head spins as I try to stay calm while I attempt to keep my readers apprised of the vital issues that face our world. Most days I have to put a great deal of thought into selecting an issue or two (out of the many), to highlight. The gang rape of our nation by the Bush administration is so overwhelming that there is virtually impossible to impress upon the public the scale of the problem.

Today I will point out another case of the Bush administration’s efforts to harm the American people and then cover it up. Several weeks ago a study came out that confirmed a link between autism and vaccines. The Bush administration tried to suppress this information. Their efforts worked, being that their slaves at our news organizations pretty much ignored this blockbuster story which affects so many families. Just as they did by drastically reducing the penalty on tobacco companies, the Bush administration continues to assault the American people and eliminate all laws designed to protect them while work diligently to protect those who try to harm them. This administration is in the business of destroying the American people and the US media are helping them do it by refusing to warn the people of the impending harm. Think about it! – Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLIES.org

· Some say missing minority cases ignored - Television executives, who receive much of the criticism, defend their coverage. They stress that cases such as the recent disappearance in Aruba of 18-year-old Natalee Holloway of Alabama are extraordinary, and would be newsworthy no matter her background.
