I dont see any lies here, seems on point to me.

Funny how everyone posting here is ignoring posts like this.
How fucking stupid do you have to be to know that the only reason a gov under military attack would have journalists in their strategic targeted building is to either have the other side avoid killing their own people OR to spin propaganda and cry about the damage is done and how poor they are.
Then to have the pentagon admit this is the reason it wasn't attacked just goes to show that ALL the cable channels suck, EVEN fox news because in the end they participated in this even if it was only 1 non journalist they sent.
