TvNewsLIES Headline News

TVNL Editor's Comments: This morning, the 8:30 AM ET CNN headlines consisted of nothing that belongs on a national news network. The lead story was about the extradition of the couple that was arrested for killing a prison guard. Why is this important for Americans to know? Then they decided to mention a political story but what did they choose? They chose to tell us that Bill Clinton defended Hillary against the comments made by a woman who is running against her for the Senate. Is this news or is this water cooler gossip? I’ll tell you what I did not hear…most of the issues on this newsletter! It is really time to stop watching TV News. 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.
