RTE lies to Irish people

More propaganda from the Montrose Mice

last night on it's 9.20pm news RTE stated an Iaqi missile had hit a shopping centre in Kuwait City early on Saturday. This is a lie and they know it to be a lie. It was a US cruise missile

Reports from US sources claiming the market bombings in Baghdad was not down to them was rightly greeted with skeptacism by the RTE reporter in Baghdad who pointed out from the evidence that they were indeed US missiles.

We did not however have a statement from the Charlie Bird in Kuwait City about the missle that hit where he is stationed. Why? Would our Good Bird not squak what (Fr) Bob Collins and John M. O'Sullivan wanted him to?

Despite the fact that RTE insist on putting out the US lie the writing is on the wall, or rather on the missile casing.

The New York Times and CBS both covered the story fairly and gave eyewitness accounts from experts like this one....

"It was an American cruise missile, we know from the markings and writing on it," an unidentified Kuwaiti police colonel told the Times. "It doesn't go up, it comes in low from the sea, and that's why there was no alert."

In case they were too busy in RTE editing yesterdays protest to make it look like it was a bunch of flag-burners I sent them this information and they still chose to broadcast black propaganda late yesterday.

I intend to take this up with the Broadcasting Comission , the Ombudsman, my local TD and anyone else who will stamp out the ability of these chancers to lie to the Irish people.

Does anyone know anything about the newsroom in RTE?
