Extremists using false media reporting to incite sectarian violence
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Friday, news media reported a mass killing in a village near Salman Pak where 20 men were allegedly found beheaded. It now appears that the story was completely false and fabricated by unknown sources.
Upon learning of the press reports, coalition and Iraqi officials began investigating to determine if the reports were true. Ultimately it was concluded the reports were false.

Please everyone contact his PING list.
The media has been caught lying shamelessly again.
Their faked stories of gruesome “insurgent achievements” have reached a level of frequency and disturbing banality, that even many FReepers buy into them.
NEVER trust AP, AFP, Reuters and any other MSM outlet.

I see CBS, news still has this story up...
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/06/28/iraq/main2991351.shtml
And I quote...
The Baghdad officer said he learned of the discovery because Iraq's Interior Ministry, where he works, sent troops to the village to investigate. The Kut officer said he first heard the report through residents of the Salman Pak area.
the officers said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information.
Here's a picture to go with it, a@@holes!

Ultimately, media reporting based on verifiable sources will reduce the possibility of misinformation unnecessarily alarming citizens.Roundup all reporters who had anything to do with this and throw em' in the BRINK for 30 days. OR MORE.

Our media not only accept everything anti-American, they create it also. New theme in Afghanistan is that ‘coalition forces have killed more civilians than the Taliban.’ Seen it a number of times now — but no doubt they know precisely how many the mosque-goers have killed.

They all learned it from the very best.
“Whoever can conquer the street will one day conquer the state, for every form of power politics and any dictatorship-run state has its roots in the street.”

It’s hard to see how the media is being used. After all, they have the same agenda. The MSM and the so-called “insurgents” (also known as al Qaeda or other terrorists) both want Bush and America defeated, America humbled, or better yet Findlindized.
