Two of America's most respected newspapers have admitted that their editors knowingly "resisted" publishing information that challanged the official excuse for invading Iraq.

There was no evidence to support the allies' claims that Iraq possessed stockpiles of WMD. Meanwhile, there was ample evidence to prove that the politicians were lying, and clear alterior motives to explain why. The Washington Post concedes: "We should have warned readers we had information that the basis for this was shakier". The New York Times confess that their coverage "was not as rigorous as it should have been".

The US corporate media promotes government propaganda while actively suppressing the other side of the story. As a result the majority of Americans live in a state of perpetual delusion about what their government is doing and why.

Intelligent people around the world are increasingly turning to alternative sources such as this to discover the truth behind the mainstream news headlines.
