As we have been saying here all along, they just keep re-arranging the deck chairs and this is the result.

This report is based on an unnamed official within the television news industry.
Now that we’re past the completely unconfirmed headline and introduction, let’s examine the actions last Wednesday by most major news outlets including the AP and CBS News.
CBS News online website ran the following headline and story excerpts:
~Excerpt~
20 Bodies Found, Iraq Blast Kills 22 More
Beheaded Men Found On Banks Of Tigris, Car Bomb Tears Through Crowded Baghdad Bus Station
BAGHDAD, June 28, 2007
(CBS/AP) A parked car bomb exploded in one of Baghdad's busy outdoor bus stations at rush hour Thursday, killing at least 22 people, and 20 beheaded bodies were found on the banks of the Tigris River southeast of the capital, two Iraqi police officers said.
~Excerpt~
Two Iraqi police officers, one from Baghdad and one based in Kut, 100 miles southeast of the capital, said the bodies of 20 people had been found — all men aged 20 to 40 years old — with their hands and legs bound, and some of the heads were found next to the bodies, the officers said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information.
The bodies were found in the Sunni Muslim village of Um al-Abeed, near the city of Salman Pak, which lies 14 miles southeast of Baghdad.
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.
What ever came of this story?

~Excerpt~
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.
With National Security, Emergency, Democratic Elections and other major issues with serious consequences at stake, at what point does one declare a source such as the AP or CBS News no longer credible? Is it 5 headless bodies? Maybe it’s 10 headless bodies. On a much more somber note, could it have been 12 SAGO miners? Would 3 SAGO miners have been acceptable?
As the “MSM or Main Stream Media” has attempted to move into the online environment, their credibility with the average American continues to sink, and with very good reason. Getting information from the Horse’s mouth is not always possible, but when you get it from the other end, the effects are obvious.

Spit!
You don’t get it. He’s posting something that’s not true, he’s using an unnamed source as they do...showing how the lefties in media are doing the exact same thing.
You need to get out more.
This is not news. They’ve been morally bankrupt for some time now.
Morally, ethically, intellectually bankrupt?
