It's a good thing they have editors and fact checkers!

Gateway Pundit looks at six stories over the past year. All six are either false or deliberate hoaxes, and retractions are apparently not forthcoming. These stories are:

1. Time Magazine reports on 20 headless bodies found in the Diyala province near a police station.
2. Western media reported on the death of "11 close family members of Jordanian-based Baathist reporter Dia al-Kawwaz."
3. The death of 12 - 25 construction workers in a bombing attack ... but they turn out to be Taliban fighters.
4. Media, including the Los Angeles Times, reports that 13 people were slaughtered by Al-Qaeda in their sleep and their homes were torched in the village of Dwelah, Iraq... including a young child. Didn't happen.
5. A refinery in Baghdad blows up. Reuters and AP call it a rocket attack. It was an industrial accident.
6. CNN reports on a mass grave with 12 mutilated bodies found north of Baghdad. Wrong again.

In roughly six and a half weeks the mainstream media reported 6 bogus stories from Iraq and Afghanistan.

There certainly could be more.

They all reflected poorly on the US and US military.

Isn't it past time that the media be held accountable for their horrible record?

DirectorBlue thinks the mainstream media should be called "The Real Faux News".
