The Media - At it again
This is somewhat dated; however, I think it's important to continue to highlight why we should be careful about what we believe about what we read...
I found this posted at the Jawa Report:
"Remember the 200 -300 civilians that were allegedly killed by a U.S. airstrike against top Taliban leaders? The Taliban claimed that what the U.S. really bombed was a busy market. Upon hearing claims of heavy civilian casualties, NATO investigated. Number of actual civilians killed: ZERO.
It's not so much that the Taliban makes these claims that bothers me, it's that the Western press actually reports them."
