TvNewsLIES Headline News

TVNL Editor's Comments: The corporate news clowns continue to lie to the American public about the Cindy Sheehan. They continue to leave the public with the false impression that Ms. Sheehan’s goal is to get the troops out of Iraq. Some “news” stations have falsely stated that George W. Bush addressed her concerns. Well this is not true. Ms. Sheehan, while wanting to see the troops leave Iraq, simply wants George W. Bush to explain to her why her son was killed. She wants to know why he was sent to Iraq in the first place. She does not want to hear the phony reasons that have been told to us by our lying administration and our lying media, she wants to know the real reasons and she wants to hear it from the horses mouth.

Perhaps she should be camping out in front of the PNAC headquarters or in front of the American Enterprise Institute, the Trilateral Commission or the Council on Foreign Relations. They are the people who set the agenda. George W. Bush is just their spokes model. But I suppose Ms. Sheehan, understandably, can only address one lie at a time. Think about it! – Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLIES.org

Tape Invalidates Key Points Official 911 Story - Firefighters who had reached the eightieth floor of the north tower reported they were eyewitnesses to fact much of the fire caused by burning jet fuel had by then largely burned out, although some burning and smoldering areas still remained. Not once did firefighters on site at " ground zero" of ground zero indicate the slightest concern that fires were still burning at an intensity which threatened their own or others' safety -- certainly not that conditions were so severe that the very integrity of the entire structure itself was threatened! On the contrary: they indicated that conditions were controllable: that they planned to conduct survivors safely out of the building, and to then bring in equipment and personnel to extinguish any remaining burning/smoldering areas.
