Here is another example of a liberal media slant.


Earlier today ABC reported on it's website that 68,000 people went home from Iraq with injuries.

The true number is under 7,000. They have removed the report, but added no corection.

Press Routinely Undercounts U.S. Casualties in Iraq

By E&P Staff

NEW YORK As the toll of Americans killed and wounded in Iraq in November approaches record levels for one month in this war, is the press only telling part of the story?

The Pentagon's latest official count, provided on Wednesday, listed 1,230 American military killed in Iraq and another 9,300 U.S. troops wounded in action. How seriously? More than 5,000 of the wounded were too badly injured to return to duty. More than 850 troops were reported to have been wounded in action in Falluja so far.

But this only scratches the surface of the total toll.

Earlier this week, CBS’s "60 Minutes" revealed that it had received a letter from the Pentagon declaring: "More than 15,000 troops with so-called 'non-battle' injuries and diseases have been evacuated from Iraq."

Looks like your 7000 figure is bullshit.

and remember, the report above was as of 11/25/04.

ABC withdrew their report.

I wonder when you will admit the 7000 figure is wrong.

Err...maybe it was a typo...they may have meant 6,800, which would be very close. The official numbers as reported by the DoD are

6770 wounded and not returned to duty...

7350 wounded and returned to duty within 72 hours.

The true number is under 7,000. They have removed the report, but added no corection.

Maybe aliens removed it. Maybe it was a 2nd shooter.

well... for you liberals a LIBERAL MEDIA is DEFINITELY out of the question... i guess you have to go digging in your conspiracy celler again.... let me know when you find something....

gmsisko1 is the one using the conspiracy-like example.
