The AP’s lying eyes

Who are you going to trust? The AP bias or your lying eyes?

Get a load of this jaw-dropping bias in the lead:

Families in this village near the Iraqi border buried loved ones Monday who they said were killed when the U.S. military launched a rare attack in Syrian territory. During the funerals, angry residents shouted anti-American slogans and carried banners reading: “Down with Bush and the American enemy.”

The Syrian government said four U.S. military helicopters attacked a civilian building under construction shortly before sundown Sunday in Sukkariyeh about five miles inside the Syrian border.

The government statement said eight people were killed, including a man and his four children and a woman. However, local officials said seven men were killed and two other people were wounded, including a woman among the injured.

An Associated Press journalist at the funerals in the village’s cemetery saw the bodies of seven men – none of them minors. The discrepancy could not immediately be explained.

They receive a report on the scene that utterly contradicts the lies of the Syrian government, and yet, they still publish those lies in the lead—before pointing out the “discrepancy” of the fact that only adult males were being buried. You know, the kind of people that generally go to Iraq to perform terrorist acts.

And once again, let me point out that most local newspapers publish only the first three to five paragraphs of AP world news articles. The truth is in the fourth paragraph.

The Associated Press: All the lies they see fit to print.
