This is how Canadian News is covering the "good news" push...

http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/1065882890636_11///?hub=CTVNewsAt11

Go to the right side and click on Kathy Tomlinson's report, she is reporting that 28 attacks have taken place from Friday to Saturday afternoon.

Quite a bit different than what CNN, etc are say, imo.

2. See, the reason for that...

...is that Canada has a media; not a miniprop posing as media.

9. You're welcome!

I can't help but wonder how the US media can continue to hide the truth from the public, it just makes them look even worse when the truth comes out, imo.

3. My husband was telling me a couple days ago that CNN said

there had been 1700 wounded since the start of the war. And this only two weeks at most after Abizaid said almost 6800 had been wounded and taken to hospital in Germany.

I think the desk jockeys in front of CNN's cameras make it up as they go along.

We are being lied to. And the sheeple refuse to seek out reliable news sources.

7. That 6800 figure wasn't "wounded,"

it was wounded + ill.

And yes, all of this is being severely underreported and it steams me.

5. You Canadians are a bunch of trouble-makers.

Our administration says that everything is FINE over there and we are making progress. I do like the title of the report making fun of "Good News Iraq."

6. LOL!

But we are quiet, polite troublemakers! We always say please and thank you before ripping skin off Bush.
