Sunday, May 23, 2010. How the Media Lies. The following is a great example of one way in which the media lies.

Here is one example that I stumbled across on Saturday afternoon. The headline from The Drudge Report. A so called conservative. News source, reads NKOREAN LEADER AUTHORIZED ATTACK ON SOUTH:.

So You Think You Can Invest?: Greece and the EU in Denial
http://www.soyouthinkyoucaninvest.com/2010/02/greece-and-eu-in-denial.html
