Another Iraqi slaughter story…that was as fake as the others!

As my friends at The Nose On Your Face satire site would say, “News so fake you’ll swear it came from the Mainstream Media”! Well, it’s that fake. From Gateway Pundit:

Reportedly, on Sunday 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 Kawwaz’s sisters, their husbands and their seven children, aged 5 to 10. They then exploded the house on their way out.

This story was carried by dozens of media outlets around the world.

Even Reporters Without Borders reported the shocking news
…
About that horrible slaughter…
It didn’t happen!!
It was just a hoaxer that Reporters Without Borders failed to fact check.

** The Iraqi Interior Ministry emphatically said, “Kawwaz is lying.”
** The police in Baghdad have not confirmed the attack.
** Talisman Gate reported that Al-Iraqiyya TV has “categorically dismissed reports over the murder of Dhia al-Kawwaz’s family in Sha’ab City.” (Thanks, BG!)
** The Multi-National Force Iraq wrote me and reported that they had found no evidence to back up the fantastic story:

Jim,

We continue to check into this, but we have not received any reports of
this incident.

V/R,
MNF-I Press Desk

** Agence France Press is now reporting that the Iraqi government denies the attacks.
** Now… This morning this latest news reported by the Journalist Freedoms Observatory (based in Baghdad) and Voices of Iraq (Aswat Al-Iraq) News confirmed that the story is bogus…

The BBC has photos of the safe family.
Boo-Hoo! …A faked funeral!

Mr Kawwaz (r) held a public wake for relatives he said had been killed. (BBC)
…
Reporters Without Borders and the other media outlets got pwned.
How sad.

Sloppiness or bias? You tell me.

MSM headline

Good news on the Iraq front…thus, relegated to appear on page A10.  From Newsbusters:

The Pew Research Center finds there has been a dramatic, double-digit jump in the percentage of Americans who believe that the military effort in Iraq is going well. You are the Washington Post. How do you play the story?:

a. You run a front-page story headlined “Study Finds Surge in Positive Public View of War Effort”; or

b. You run a story on page A10 headlined “Military Progress Doesn’t Make War More Popular.”

A dead giveaway, wasn’t it, saying “you are the Washington Post”? Of course the correct answer is “b.” As Ed Morrissey at Captains Quarters noted, WaPo managed not only to bury the story, but to put a gloomy headline on the news. Observes Ed:

When the rise in opposition to the war got reported before, the numbers made front page news. Their decline gets mid-section commentary, spun with economic speculation. Anyone see an agenda at play here?

Jules Critteden details how MSNBC spins the Pew story in similar fashion, and observes:

18 points. Double-digit increase. That’s a 60 percent uptick from February’s numbers. Nearly half of all Americans think things are going well.

Both organizations are marching in the proud MSM footsteps of the New York Times. When earlier this month news came that the US-led MNF had successfully routed al Qaeda completely out of Baghdad, the Times buried the story fathoms deep . . . on A19. 

Nope…no liberal media bias!

Seattle mayor: Santa hates kids who aren’t eco-kooks like me

I’d like to send this Seattlestan moonbat asshat a lump of coal, just to piss him off.  Via Michelle Malkin:

Via Orbusmax, KVI talk show host Kirby Wilbur in Seattle heard from a listener who attended Mayor Greg Nickels’ Christmas holiday tree-lighting ceremony. All religious references are discouraged by the local government–except if the religion is environmentalism. So Nickels used the event to preach the evils of global warming to the kids in attendance. He warned the children that if they don’t use energy-efficient light bulbs (Gore bulbs), Santa and the reindeer will perish amid melting icecaps. 

Global “warming” = humbug.  These eco-tards are shameless and pathetic.

Obama to fine parents who decline government health care

Not to be outdone by Silky’s totalitarian health care tactics, Barry O wants to fine parents who may have a slight problem with government health care.  From ABC News:

The issue of mandates for health care has driven the debate between Clinton and Obama for the past few weeks. Obama says he would enforce his mandate for health care for all children by fining parents if they refused to allow health care coverage for their children.

“I am happy to be very clear how we enforce mandates for children, and the reason is because children don’t have an option.”  

“Mandates” for the children?  What, has Barney Frank taken a liking to kids now?

Not only do children not have an option, but if Barry O or Silky Pony get their way, parents won’t have one either.  Funny how the left is all about “choice”, isn’t it?  Orwell was ahead of his time.
