The CNN reporter says, "Will she ever know peace in her lifetime." Of course, in Palestine, this is no a "peace" sign...it is the symbol for "victory." As in kill Israelis.

To mark our tenth annual freep against media bias outside the White House Correspondents Association Dinner, the D.C. Chapter of FreeRepublic.com will hold an awards ceremony to announce the ten worst examples of media reporting over the past ten years.
Nominations are being accepted on this thread from now until 9 a.m. EDT Monday, April 21. Voting will commence shortly after that and will close at 3 p.m. EDT Friday, April 25.
Nominees should be backed with quotes and source links. Acceptable nominees are news media outlets, reporters, commentators, photographers, editors and executives. The time period runs from 1999 through 2008. The winners will not be decided on a year-by-year basis , so there could be more than one winner from a year and none for another year.
The standard for nominations are a media report(s) that was false, doctored, treasonous, egregiously biased or timed or withheld to give maximum political advantage or cause maximum political damage.
The D.C. Chapter will announce the winners at 4:30 p.m. EDT, Saturday, April 26, 2008 at our regular location for the Correspondents Dinner freep: the corner of Connecticut Avenue and T Street, NW, just across from the Hilton where the dinner is held.
The freep will be from 4 p.m. to about 8 p.m. All Freepers and lurkers in good standing are welcome to join us.

YEAH! That too!

But for crying out loud, how hard is it to ping the thread to the chapter list? That's all I'm sayin'.
The only reason this thread got pinged to the list today by me was because I heard about it from someone else, who heard about it from someone else, who heard about it from a %$#@*! little birdie.
P.S. Then I had to go hunt for it!
I guess if you throw them, it’s easier to sneak up on your targets, right?
Dan Rather has body odor.
admiral = admirable DUH!
good catch, BufordP!
Thank goodness we have you to watch his six!
Thanks for the ping, BufordP!
Now Bump to the Top of the List!
FReep On!
I’ll add my BTTT!
LOL! Who threw the cartridges as her house?

“Haditha” by Time Magazine and McKirk is undoubtedly the most outrageous example of propaganda directed against our country by our own in my lifetime.
And, it’s been thoroughly discredited thanks in part to the unbelievable work of Freeper, Red Rover.
Red Rover and Haditha MUST be on your list.

The rug looks great. Hope the Pres. liked it.
Great thread and idea.

Kristinn -- I too nominate the TIME Magazine propaganda by Tim McGirk as the most flagrant and egregious creation of a false story next to Dan Rather's MemoGate. Using insurgent propaganda and false information, they alone are responsible for the damage caused to not only the eight Marines falsely charged with non-criminal acts, but through their drumbeat browbeating created the climate that allowed the duplicitous Left to denigrate all of our Military. Their coverage gave Murtha, Code Pink, the Iraqi Vets Against the War, and many other socialist organizations, to say nothing of Westboro Baptist Church (which is neither!) the freedom to deride and impugn the honour of our Defenders of Freedom.
Kristinn --
As Just A Nobody said here, and xzins said in #54, RedRover has done a masterful Yeoman's job of collating and maintaining all of the documentation of this and several other Group persecutions, all in the aim of ensuring the whole truth is laid out, warts and all.
BTW, it is the symbol for "victory" in the USA as well.
Just because the commies stole it and changed the meaning, does not mean we have to acknowledge it.
Thanks brit! What's the matter? Didn't you like my new, and appropriate spelling of RAGazine and mcJirk? ;*)
