Joseph Goebbels would be proud of this one. On Netscape, a very popular portal, a headline blares "Iraqi Troops Firing on Fleeing Civilians." Click on the link, and it takes you to CNN's site, where the same headline is repeated. Only if you go to the actual story do you find the only sources for this phony story are British military officers and a CNN reporter "embedded" (in bed with) in a British unit.
In other words, the lying corporate media, acting as a conduit for US & UK war propaganda and thus as accomplices and co-conspirators to mass murder and a war of aggression, is repeating blatant lies, war propaganda spewed out by the Birtish military, as if they were documented facts-- which they're not. They know most people will just read the headline, and not bother to actually go the article. But in the story itself, they try to cover themselves for their crimes by stating the source of this fairy tale, the Birtish military.
Meanwhile, U.S. terror bombing of Baghdad continues. Today 50 civilians were slaughtered by the Luftwaffe. Yeah, that's the way to win their "hearts and minds," all righty.
