MSNBC has a headline boasting "9/11 commission: No link between bin Laden and Saddam".

Only one problem. The 9/11 commission found plenty of links between Iraq and AlQuaeda. They just didn't find a link suggesting direct Iraqi government collaboration in the September 11 hijackings.

Here's the third paragraph of the story:

"Well, that's what our staff has found. Now, it doesn't mean there weren't al Qaeda connections with Iraq over the years. They're somewhat shadowy, but I think they were there. But with 9/11, no, our staff has found no evidence of that."

Did you catch that? The third paragraph directly contradicts the headline. What's wrong with MSNBC? Are they on glue? Or do they have some agenda that involves lying?

They say one thing in the headline and then directly contradict it two paragraphs down, knowing that most people only read the headlines. This is blatantly dishonest. They are saying Black is White, that Truth is False, that Oceania was never our enemy, that Oceania was always our enemy.

When did big media become the Ministry of Truth?
