The press have firmly established themselves as propaganda shills for any political movement, philosophy, or event that they favor. To wit: The Democrat Party, global warming, and defeat of America in Iraq.
They do not need facts to further their agenda, pure fantasy and fabrication will suffice. Truth and facts no longer matter, whatever nonsense fed to them that supports their storyline will receive frontpage treatment.
Remember that the press have locked themselves away within the Green Zone, or in an impregnable fortress compound from which they never sally forth. They could just as well be reporting from Fargo, North Dakota, except that it would be difficult to pay their Al Qaida operatives who serve as stringers.
Pay no attention to the MSM, if you want truth, you must look elsewhere.
On the other hand, the true story of hundreds of Americans being burned to death on 9-11 is not worth covering because it would just make us angry. < / sarcasm >
