FAUX IS ABOUT TO GET THEIR PANTS SUED OFF



Rachel Maddow comes out of left field with second biggest breaking story of the week. It turns out that the Acorn faux-pimp & ho scandal was falsely reported through outright lies and blatantly misleading editing. The final investigation report is below. In light of the video release by Wikileaks earlier this week, I think we should all realize it is important to reserve judgments until we know the full story. This story was slander at the least, which may be why Maddow was able to break this story at her late hour. It would seem that all the other news stations are in for a slander law suit, especially FOX NEWS. FOX NEWS broke this slanderous story and ran it until other channels felt compelled to cover it or lose ratings. Check your sources, check your sources.

I've been mulling over what take I should have on the video posted by collateral murder. My official point of view is that it is damning evidence that demands further investigation. What is most disturbing is the gunning down of clearly unarmed humans in this video. What is missing is the larger context of how and why they came upon these persons, and why they would have thought they were armed in the first place.

blog.ajmartinez.com breaks it down perhaps the best pointing out that one individual possessed an AK and the other an RPG7. The spokesperson for Wikileaks claimed he didn't point out the RPG because he thought it could have been a camera tripod. While I am not up to date on tripods this claim is idiotic. What happens next is one of the saddest displays I have ever seen a human partake in. Rampant gunning down of injured, unknown and unarmed individuals. The long version of the video also shows the avoidable collateral killing of a bystander walking by a building targeted with hellfire missiles.

Once again while all of this is damning it may be entirely out of context. It does demand further investigation and the public should be outraged that the military would clear these individuals if there was not a full and accountable review. The cover-up clearly shows that it may not have been so thorough of a review.
