TvNewsLIES Headline News

TVNL Editor's Comments: Just some general babbling today:

On Bush’s choice for Supreme Court Justice…I suppose if there was a grand jury looking into the crimes of my administration and if my administration was the most corrupt in history, I would want my personal lawyer to be the judge in any potential court case.

On MSNBC…The other day this so called “news” network ran an vital in depth news story and interview with the latest person to get “fired” by Donald Trump on his television reality show. How’s that for vital news?

On CNN…Surprisingly CNN permitted an interview with a soldier returning from Iraq who got in trouble for posting information about the many civilian deaths caused by American military. Not surprisingly Soledad O’Brien was virtually silent during the interview, asked very few questions and showed absolutely no curiosity about what the soldier had to say. This was quite a departure from the tenacity she shows during interviews related to issues like Scott Peterson, Martha Stewart and the latest hit movie, whatever it may be.

On the White House press corps…David Gregory, NBC/MSNBC White House correspondent and member of the WH press corps, filled in for Matt Lauer on the Today Show. Is this a job for a journalist? This proves my point that TV news “journalists” are not in the journalism business, they are in show biz! They are entertainers. They aspire to be high paid TV personalities and the TV networks evaluate their TV journalists on the basis of this un-natural career path, not on the basis of their journalism credentials or ability. These TV journalists do not aspire to make their mark in history by reporting vital information to the public and the real journalists have no voice in today’s broadcast news industry. Think about it! – Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLIES.org

· Newsday Shields Long Island Readers From 9/11 Skeptics - Newsday's follow-up coverage in the Saturday/"Early Sunday" Long Island editions featured almost two full pages on Habib's ouster.

MILITARY & VETERANS : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#military

· Why I No Longer Support The Military! They Have Betrayed Us! - Our military is now in the hands of enemies domestic and they are doing nothing to fight this enemy. As a matter of fact they are not even willing to examine the question of whether or not enemies domestic exist. That in itself is clear evidence that our military is not protecting us and has betrayed us by refusing to act as a sentinel and guard us from enemies domestic. They are ignoring their sworn duty and they are betraying us by this inaction.
