TvNewsLIES Headline News

TVNL Editor's Comments: Last night 60 Minutes (CBS) took part in a campaign to make the public think that catching Osama bin Laden is not important. You may see this message in many forms over the next few months. This, to me, indicates that Osama is indeed being protected by the US. We never intended on getting him. This speaks volumes.

Keep in mind that if he is reported killed or caught, we will never be given direct access to him (or his body) for the purpose of verifying his identity. Based on what we have seen for 5 years we must raise our level of skepticism towards this most untrustworthy administration. Think about it! – Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLIES.org

· Peaceful Assault on the Epicenter of Evil - The Washington Post under-estimated the number of people at the demonstration and provided relatively limited coverage.

Beyond the print media, I struggled to find minor mention of the event on television news.
