Shocking smear of US Marines by British newspaper!

WARNING GRAPHIC IMAGES

This is disgraceful!

The UK Times showed its obvious bias this week. They shows this images with the title, "Massacre Marines blinded by hate."

Well, it turns out these Iraqis were actually killed by insurgents. Notice the same dead bodies from a slightly different angle.

The second is from a Newsweek image 6 Months earlier! The slanderous and obviously bias UK Times purposely used a 6 moth old image and made it appear they were killed by the US Marines. This my friends is the kind of deceit and manipulation the press does day in and day out to control your paradigm! Here is the Newsweek article.

Quote:

Hussein Hashimi has a CD-ROM full of pictures of the dead. For the last two months, the young Shiite says, Sunni extremists rampaged through his hometown of Madaen. They torched the local police stations, abducted dozens of members of the local Shiite minority, burned down the mosque and killed not only the imam but his 8-year-old son. Many Shiite families fled; others barricaded themselves in their homes. Last week Iraqi security forces finally came in and restored order.

Hashimi has lists of the missing and of the dead who have been identified. He has the names of the alleged perpetrators and a map showing the home of the Sunni he accuses of being responsible for the atrocities.

So is Hashimi fighting back? Not at all. "We just ran away," he says without a trace of embarrassment. "Sistani and the religious authorities in Najaf decided not to use force, so we couldn't do anything." To the Shiites of Iraq, Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani's word is law. "We must obey."

Their obedience was tested yet again last week—and again it held firm. In Madaen and villages nearby, corpses bobbed to the surface of the Tigris River until police counted 60. Hashimi and his friends photographed 55 of the bodies and delivered the pictures and lists to Baghdad. Shiite politicians accused the insurgents of ethnic cleansing, and demanded that the caretaker government act. Insurgents in another town near Baghdad, Haditha, responded by kidnapping 19 Shiite fishermen and National Guardsmen, lining them up against a wall in a sports stadium and shooting them dead.

Yep, no media bias!

Thanks to Michelle Malkin for putting this together. I am thankful for blogs as they debunk elite media everyday. This is why Dan Rather is retired today and the UK Times will not get away with this. Feel free to e-mail the people responsible for this at the UK Times:

Yet another reason I have little faith in the media. The Chicago Sun didn't care that the British Newspaper made an apology and retracted the image. This idiot Jack Higgins already did a cartoon.

Yep, no media bias!
