TvNewsLIES Headline News

TVNL Editor's Comments: Do you see how the media are all over the administration for not preparing for the disaster in New Orleans? You see how they are asking questions about how everyone knew that this was going to happen? Do you see how they are talking about all the warnings about the levy breaking and about how the budgets were cut that might have helped address this potential problem? My question is where were the similar questions about 9/11?

Where were the questions about the warnings? Where were the questions about knowing that planes can be used as missiles? Where were the questions about Bush calling off virtually all CIA & FBI investigations into the bin Laden family? Where were the common sense questions and outrage that we are seeing from our media today? Think about it! – Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLIES.org

SPECIAL NOTE TO OUR FRIENDS DOWN SOUTH: My thoughts are with all the victims of Katrina. I wish you all a peaceful resolution to your trying situation.

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.

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

· Bush is the real threat - Now that the US president has announced that he has not ruled out an attack on Iran, if it does not abandon its nuclear programme, the Middle East faces a crisis that could dwarf even the dangers arising from the war in Iraq. - Even a conventional weapon fired at a nuclear research centre - whether or not a bomb was being made there - would almost certainly release radioactivity into the atmosphere, with consequences seen worldwide as a mini-Hiroshima.

· The Man-Made Disaster - The situation in New Orleans, which had seemed as bad as it could get, became considerably worse yesterday with reports of what seemed like a total breakdown of organized society. Americans who had been humbled by failures in Iraq saw that the authorities could not quickly cope with a natural disaster at home.

· A Can't-Do Government - At a fundamental level, I'd argue, our current leaders just aren't serious about some of the essential functions of government. They like waging war, but they don't like providing security, rescuing those in need or spending on preventive measures. And they never, ever ask for shared sacrifice.
