Iraq's Interior Ministry has formed a special unit to monitor news coverage and is vowing to take legal action against journalists who fail to correct stories the ministry deems to be incorrect. Now THERE'S a full-time job! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Empty out the Palestine Hotel!

It is about damned time! It is enlightening to compare reports on the same incident (example only):
-coalition force verified report indicates 3 injured.
-Iraqi report indicates 38 killed/hundreds injured
It is annoying to see reports in the media (and occasionally touted on here as the "truth") shouting about atrocities that never happened (6 set on fire) or huge numbers of dead in a car bomb that are greatly exaggerated.

They need to worry about getting an upper hand on their own country. Monitoring a plethora of news outlets is merely a distraction.

Is Kalaf saying they finally got rid of Bagdad Bob and now the AP has taken his place? Who would have thought?

How ironic that the king of false reporting is questioning the Associated Press.

They need to worry about getting an upper hand on their own country. Monitoring a plethora of news outlets is merely a distraction. In today's world, monitoring news and fighting to get correct news out is not a distraction. It is the ballgame.
We have a Democrat Congress and won't have the Supreme Court because the Democrats (and the Islamofascists they have allied themselves with) control most of the news.

I think they need to do both. They MAY be actually winning on the ground (as our forces and Gen Giap said we were in VN) but the spoon fed masses watching their MSM TV and listening to MSN radio could cause them/us to lose anyway. Just as we, and the South Vietnamese did when the public/political outcry cause our congress to defund the VN conflict.
Giap says NVN was closer to defeat several times than we thought and that our press (and Kerry types) was a big help to them. So I hope they do hold some MSM feet to the flames to support their lies and or retract them.
In 20 years I would hate to read a book by Abdullah Giap saying the Muzzi's murderers were about to break when we pulled out and stop supporting the Iraqi's.

Crack down on false news?
How can this be? The absolute right to publish false news is the bedrock principle of a free press. Just ask Dan Rather.

Why don't we just turn Kieth Olbermann over to him as a peace gesture?
