1 Year of Iraq media deception - Documented
I did not realize how much has been written about the western media's bias and incomplete reporting about the invasion of Iraq until I took a recent look at the page put together about it.

It is really quite striking when you look at it all together.

Please use this page as a reference when you are trying to make the argument that the coverage of the Iraq invasion was not exactly accurate!

The US media has a lot of blood on their hands!

5. It's far more than media news - it's about Iraq.
This whole election has been manipulated by the media coverage....and seeing a year's compliation of media deception is startling and angering. It's about the war, not just the media... and what the people of this country don't know...and still don't know. Just today I heard the media pundits raving that women were in the new government...just as they had marveled that women were in the universities. Duh. This was the only place that women had full rights before the US unleashed the Shiites on the general public. The media is now repeating the WH mantra that it's up to the Iraqis to provide for their own security. Hell, we made the country more unsafe than ever....(and killed around 20,000 civilians in the process) and then tell the Iraqis to fix what we broke.

2. Of course they do....they are puppets for the military industrial machine
Their job is to provide cover...be the WH mouthpiece and keep the popolace uninformed on many issues not just the war.
