This is the footage we've all seen of the 3 people caught setting roadside boms in Iraq. Well, now it's heavily edited and framed so that they are innocent farmers trying to surrender.
Check it out and try not to throw anything. Nice piece of agitprop.

ping.
do alert your pinglists - it is rare to *really* catch media-bias in editing.

Well we've seen both the Boston Globe and Daily Mirror run with fake "atrocity" stories. I'd not be surprised to see something like this get press coverage to...

Cool an MTV POP UP video.

Well, a "vommon tactic" could mean a vomit-inducing tactic used by leftists to obfuscate issues.

A version of the truth, overlaid with premeditated editiorial lies
Reminds me of the partisan leftist media in this country.

Made by someone called Chris King Pop Icon (ckpi.com). He evidently is a pseudo-comedian, though I'm sure his leftist bent makes him anything but funny.
I saw the video from a link at DU. It's amazing that they constantly deride the right as being of lower intelligence, yet will sign on to outrageous innuendo and outright fantasy so long as it meets their political outlook. They all had their panties in a wad over the 'atrocities' undertaken by the awful American military.
These people have the gall to be outraged at being called un-American, yet they work on the assumption that America is in the wrong at all times. They want to see America as an awful imperialist state, so when someone shows them a highly edited video, which is nothing but pure propaganda, they treat it as the gospel truth.
I bet those farmers were merely supplying raw materials for the baby milk factories.
