And their evil work as propagandists for U.S. war criminals is not finished. Presently, they are telling new lies about how America must attack Iran in order to win the war on terror, save Israel from Islamic annihilation, and free the Iranian people from their tyranny.
None of these organizations have apologized for their involvement in two illegal wars that have caused the deaths of more than 100,000 innocent people.
These media organizations are literally covered in blood, yet, they have the audacity to accuse others who are trying to bring an end to the wars of criminal wrongdoing. On Friday, October 22nd, the night before the release of the Iraq War Logs by WikiLeaks, ABC's Diane Sawyer said on air: "I know there's a lot of outrage about this again tonight, Martha. But tell me, anything more about prosecuting the WikiLeaks group?" This is outrageous! The leading anchor of a top media organization is more interested in prosecuting a whistleblowing outlet than in finding the truth about America's longest wars. I guess her job is to cover-up crimes, not to expose them. In Sawyer's world if you want to help end illegal wars by releasing government documents then you should be prosecuted and arrested.

The American establishment media is becoming increasingly isolated in the world media. Most people now understand that its main function is to lie to the American people about wars and other important matters, defend the war criminals in the U.S. government, and spread false rumors about countries around the world that stand up to the Washington Terrorist State.
Glenn Greenwald illustrates how the New York Times is whitewashing U.S. authorized torture in Iraq in its coverage of WikiLeaks's Iraq War logs:
The difference in how (a) the NYT "reported on" -- i.e., whitewashed -- these horrific, incriminating revelations about the U.S. and (b) the rest of the world media reported on it, could not be more vast. Again, even Politico understood its significance, as this was the first line of its article: "Newly released Iraq war documents paint a devastating portrait of apparent U.S. indifference to a pattern of murder and torture by the Iraqi army, raising new questions about the Obama administration's plans to transfer the nation's security operations to Iraqi units." But the NYT in its headline chose to venerate the superiority of American detainee treatment, while barely mentioning one of the most critical revelations from this leak.III. More reactions to WikiLeaks's Iraq War Logs:
Christian Whiton writes in Fox News that more should be done by the U.S. government to contain, and disrupt the work of WikiLeaks:
On Friday, WikiLeaks again released a massive amount of classified information stolen from the U.S. government. This time is was 392,000 files about the Iraq war. In July, it was more than 70,000 controlled government documents about Afghanistan. More illegal disclosures are promised. What have Congress and the Obama administration done since WikiLeaks started this? Scandalously little as it turns out.
