TvNewsLIES Headline News

TVNL Editor's Comments: If a “religious” leader in any nation got on TV and advocated the assassination of, oh, let’s say Ariel Sharon or George W. Bush, what do you think the response would be? Let’s say that leader was Islamic; can you imagine a different response?

Why do Christians get a free pass when it comes to calling for the death of others? Anne Coulter has said that we should kill all the Islamic leaders and convert the Islamic people to Christianity. Is this what Christianity teaches? Would she be invited back to all the TV programs that she appears on had she been an Islamic calling for the death and conversion of Jews or Christians?

Islamic people never hesitate to jump down the throat of any Jewish person who has a negative comment to make about Arabs or Islam, yet you never hear a peep out of them while Christians not only threaten and disrespect Islamic people, but take part and cheer the slaughter of Arabs and Islamic people.

Why the free pass for terrorist bigot Christians? Think about it! – Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLIES.org

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

· Will Iraq’s Constitution Be Irrelevant? - The media’s focus on whether the Bush administration’s forced timetable is met, rather than on the quality and likely impact of the resulting constitution, serves the administration’s purpose of creating the illusion of progress. Thus, victory can be declared and American troops can begin coming home. After all, the congressional elections are next year, and by then, the Democrats will be feisty over a war that is getting ever less popular here at home.

· Under US noses, brutal insurgents rule Sunni citadel - A three-day visit by a reporter working for the Guardian last week established what neither the Iraqi government nor the US military has admitted: Haditha, a farming town of 90,000 people by the Euphrates river, is an insurgent citadel.

· Merrill analyst sees housing price fix - Prices in the hot U.S. housing market are poised to decline as demand dries up due to the inability of first-time buyers to afford a home, a Merrill Lynch analyst said in a research report on Monday.

TVNL Comment: They also claim that 19 cave dwellers outsmarted the US air defense system. They also say that a plane evaporated avter hitting the Pentagon. They also say that Building 7 collapsed because...oh wait a minute...they never explained that one, they just pretend that it did not happen!

· U.S. BUSINESS AND BUSH FAMILY TIES TO OSAMA BIN LADEN REVEALED. - One of the top U.S. contractors in Iraq was also intimately involved in the Bin Laden global financial empire. - There is a stinking air of treason and involvement with terrorism surrounding the Bush family. - SCROLL DOWN ON PAGE

CONGRESS : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#congress

· Cranberg: Congress must probe whether president lied us into war - A lie is a knowing misstatement of fact. "Intentionally misleading" and "intentionally exaggerated" simply are euphemisms for the same thing, and it is clear that a large chunk of the public believes it was lied to by the administration. - Just because many people believe something, of course, does not make it so. But neither can it be ignored. Yet the administration seems to be doing exactly that.

DOMESTIC : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#domestic

· Ex-Halliburton worker pleads guilty to bribes - A former Halliburton Co. worker pleaded guilty late last week to taking more than $110,000 in bribes from an Iraqi company in 2004 and defrauding the United States, court documents showed.

· Scientists Fear Oceans on the Cusp Of a Wave of Marine Extinctions - But nothing has pushed marine life closer to the edge of extinction more than aggressive fishing. Aided by technology -- industrial trawlers and factory ships deploy radar and sonar to scour the seas with precision and drag nets the size of jumbo jets along the sea floor -- ocean fish catches tripled between 1950 and 1992.

INTERNATIONAL : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#international

· IS BLAIR OFF TO JOIN $30BN WORLD ELITE? - The PM is being lined up for a highly lucrative position with the Carlyle Group - an American-based investment giant with strong links to the White House and the defence industry. - The firm has been nicknamed "The Ex-Presidents Club" because it has had a host of former world leaders on its books including George Bush Senior, his former secretary of state James Baker and former British PM John Major. There a also a large number of former US Army top brass.

· 5 Calif. Guardsmen Face Charges of Abusing Iraqis - Five California Army National Guard soldiers, all members of a Fullerton-based company, will face courts-martial on charges that they participated in or were complicit in the abuse of Iraqi detainees, according to military officials.
TVNL Comment: Let's see if any significant punishments are doled out. These trials are smoke and mirrors. They are done for PR purposes.

· Experts warn Army may face decline in quality - Retired major general Bob Scales, former commandant of the Army War College, says without a reduction in U.S. ground forces in Iraq, soldiers are facing "third and fourth" tours of duty in Iraq. "You'll see the quality of the Army atrophy," Scales said. - Scales said it would become more difficult to recruit talented people, and young officers and midcareer enlisted soldiers, not easy to replace, could choose to leave.

EDITORIAL : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#editorial

· The President's Greatest Fear - In his rush to war, it seems that the president has forgotten a rather important point. He has neglected to ask what might happen if the people of “our nation” lose faith in him as “our president,” if they become convinced that he has not been honest with them, if they come to the conclusion that he has essentially lied to them, that he is, in fact, a liar, and all of it in order to pave the way toward a war of “his own” choice.

· ARMSTRONG BIKES WITH PRESIDENT OVER SHEEHAN GRAVE - Armstrong said he thought it inappropriate to politicize the office of the president, noting that his own appearance at the ranch was arranged by the Discovery Channel, "for craven commercial purposes only."

· When Tyranny is Law - States can effectively violate all international laws and treaties and kill as many people as they may like for achieving their ever changing objectives according to the gradual exposure of their lies. Powerful states are no longer bound by any law. However, when it comes to dealing with the perceived terrorists, states are allowed to pass anti-terrorism laws which are extensions of international treaties to consider whole populations as potential terrorists.

· Freedom Of Speech, RIP - There has got to be a mass resuscitation. There has got to be a way to breathe life back into our Bill of Rights. We are careening down a slippery slope into a disaster, the magnitude of which nobody has ever witnessed.

JOURNALISM & MEDIA : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#media

· Limbaugh runs away from Limbaugh - Limbaugh is terrified. And he has reason to be. - Understand this about Limbaugh. He doesn’t believe half the junk he spouts.

· Newsweeklies slip at the newsstand - Nonetheless, the decreases again raise the question of how general-interest publications can hold on to their audiences in a 24-hour cable news and Internet environment while competing against increasingly popular entertainment, pop culture and specialized magazines.
TVNL Comment: Why is news competing with entertainment? This proves that the news industry is there to make money, nothing else. That is why they sell war and terror. Those issues lead to ratings.

· Robertson called for the assassination of Venezuela's president - Pat Robertson, host of Christian Broadcasting Network's The 700 Club and founder of the Christian Coalition of America, called for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

· Your Soap and Shampoo are Killing You - This inexpensive detergent is commonly used in cosmetic cleansers, hair shampoos, bath and shower gels, bubble baths, etc. - It is probably the most dangerous ingredient used in skin and hair-care products. In the cleaning industry SLS is used in garage floor cleaners, engine degreasers, car-wash soaps, etc.
TVNL Comment: Read the ingredients in your soap and shampoo and then do a web search for Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Laureth Sulfate. This is an example of how it is the policy of our government to keep us sick.

· Top-selling drug linked to increased suicide risk - An analysis of trials for Seroxat involving more than 1,500 patients found seven suicide attempts among those taking the drug and only one among those taking a placebo.
