BAGHDAD, Iraq - Eight American Marines were killed in fighting west of Baghdad on Saturday, the militarys bloodiest day in nearly six months. A car bomb killed at least seven people in attack on an Arab television network in the capital, and Iraqi troops fired wildly on civilian vehicles, killing at least 14 people, witnesses and hospital officials said.

The A.P. story here is not what sets off my bias alarm, but take note of the chart provided by MSNBC. Notice what cities they include in their chart of insurgent strongholds. When was the last tim their was an attack in Mosul, Basra, or Tikrit. They certainly are not insurgent strongholds, espeically not Mosul and Basra. Why am I not suprised by this subtle but effective media propaganda. The map makes it as if the Coalition has no control over anything in Iraq.

Liberals have been far too effective at using words to demonize people and twist reality.
Ive decided to fight fire with fire. I now call liberals fundamentalist left or left wing extremists. It enrages them immediately but it opens the subject to argument. Ive found that liberals are a little more careful when they see how easily their own tactics can be turned against them.

I agree. I like to compare the leftist media's propaganda to Joseph Goebbles Nazis Prpgaganda machine. There really is not much difference when you examine ho Goebbles controlled the German news media, and the entertainment industry as well. Now who does that sound like?
