When I read about the Afghan road crew being mistakenly bombed I figured it might be bogus because it came from Reuters. Then I looked on Google News and saw other accounts from other agencies—who apparently had copied Reuters. The next day NATO denied it and that was all I saw. I don’t think anybody went back and corrected the original story. No one will ever know exactly how much misinformation has been generated against NATO in Afghanistan and the Coalition in Iraq but it is vast.

Thank heaven's for forums like FR, and other conservative blogs who care about seeking truth! If it wasn't for these deligence of the people who care on these forums we would never know.

The very fact we have these DBM organizations putting out bogus information in the first place is a travesty. However, because there is an "appearance" of them not checking the facts, makes this the most scurrilous aspect of all their notoriety. Everyone of these "news" oulets ought to go into financial ruin because of their atrocious agendas and not ever be able to recover!

I bet that dude who used to masquarade as a coroner/innocent village resident was holding up dead babies for AP photograpers.

The Enemedia has a lot invested in their ability to make us lose heart. They will do whatever it takes. They have done it before and they are trying again -- Walter Cronkite even came out of retirement for a curtain call -- he's quite proud of the fact that he singlehandedly encouraged our enemies in Vietnam.

Thanks for the ping.

Al reuters and Al ap and others just can’t help it.

Good to have FR, LGF, and Newsbusters to issue the corrections they fail to print.

General Giap was a brilliant, highly respected leader of the North Vietnam military. The following quote is from his memoirs currently found in the Vietnam war memorial in Hanoi: &am p;nb sp; &n bsp;

“What we still don’t understand is why you Americans stopped the bombing of Hanoi. You had us on the ropes. If you had pressed us a little harder, just for another day or two, we were ready to surrender! It was the same at the battles of TET. You defeated us! We knew it, and we thought you knew it. But we were elated to notice your media w as de finitely helping us. They were causing more disruption in America than we could in the battlefields. We were ready to surrender. You had won!”

General Giap has published his memoirs and confirmed what most Americans knew. The Vietnam war was not lost in Vietnam — it was lost at home. The exact same slippery slope, sponsored by the US media, is currently well underway. It exposes the enormous power of a biased media to cut out the heart and will of the American public.

A truism worthy of note: Do not fear the enemy, for they can take only your life. Fear the media far more, for they will destroy your honor.

It seems the same thing is happening with the battle for Iraq.
