   ....and you desire a certain outcome, [1]you lie.

     Its a Quagmire!... Media Reports 6 Bogus Stories in 6 Weeks!

   In the most outrageous example yet, in blaring headlines all over the
   world, the media reported

     11 close family members of Jordanian-based Baathist reporter Dia
     al-Kawwaz, who runs the online anti-Iraq newspaper Shabeqat Akhbar
     al-Iraq, were slaughtered in Baghdad. The attack occurred in the
     Al-Shaab neighborhood shortly after 7 a.m. Shia militia men shot
     dead two of Kawwazâs sisters, their husbands and their seven
     children, aged 5 to 10. They then exploded the house on their way
     out.

   Two days later the family appeared on Iraqi TV. Not one media outlet
   has corrected the "error".
   They're not errors, folks. They're intentional. It's no longer
   possible to rationally argue that the media is simply making mistakes.
   They aren't. They're blinded by their agenda and no longer give a damn
   about reporting facts.
   Can you believe these people have the unmitigated gall to criticize
   blogs?
