TvNewsLIES Headline News

TVNL Editor's Comments: I would like you all to imagine what TV news coverage would be like had there been a situation where Arab settlers were being evicted from land that they illegally occupied in Israel. I would also like you to try to imagine rhetoric coming from the media had Americans been asked to finance their relocation. I am making no assertions here but I want you all to think hard and deep what the coverage would be like, what the rhetoric would be like and what your attitude would be had the situation been reversed. Personally I think it would make a great study in hypocrisy. Think about it! – Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLIES.org

WAR : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#war

Where are the cries of complaint? - You may have noticed, too, that our own Government is talking about massive British troop reductions in southern Iraq, possibly for “redeployment” to Afghanistan (“or tsunami relief, or Oxfam, or anywhere”, gulps Tony Blair into his shaving mirror). - We were expecting an angry chorus from a particular quarter. So why the silence? You could hear a pin drop. Why don’t they sing out, the armchair warriors of Fleet Street? George W. Bush and his friends are preparing to scuttle Iraq, and nobody’s complaining.

· 'What Fox News Channel would have done to Rosa Parks' - This grieving mom has been characterized as a flip-flopper, accused of putting on a public circus, lambasted as a publicity seeking grandstander and criticized for not truly speaking for her family since an aunt and a godmother Matt Drudge found somewhere in the Sheehan family disagrees with her. The conservative attack machine is in high gear in the efforts to tear this woman down.- That made me think of how it would have been in the Civil Rights era if Fox News Channel, Rush Limbaugh, Matt Drudge and the rest of the gang were around back then.
