An Example of False News

Okay...GO here Reuters
and click on "Mortar attack kills three"

In the report it says a handicapped man was killed by the attack, then shows film of wheelchair, but the wheelchair is not damaged nor does it have blood on it. Is that strange to anyone besides me?

Another example of bias media for a political conspiracy forum.

I did see a lot of blood underneath the wheelchair.

The person in the wheelchair probably got hit by shrapnel from the bomb which wouldn't have twisted or dented the metal from the wheelchair.

What type of damage do you expect the wheelchair to have?

BTW, why would Reuters want to make Iraqi insurgents look bad by lying about them killing a handicapped man?

I don't know....seems like everything is propaganda these days.

Even if its prop, it's hard to tell for wich side it's made:

on one hand it shows that insurgants are killing bystanders wich could reflect bad on them, but on the other hand it shows that the insurgants are still alive and capable of dtirring trouble, wich could reflect bad on Rumsfeld for example.
