TvNewsLIES Headline News

TVNL Editor's Comments: This morning on CNN Soledad O’Brien was reporting from London where she did an in depth interview with a woman who started walking to work in order to avoid the London underground trains. I wonder why we never saw Ms. O’Brien in Iraq asking people how they get around now that the US has turned their nation into a battlefield. Hmmm…I wonder why she has not requested that little assignment. I thought she was a real serious journalist; I guess not. Think about it! – Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLIES.org
