The Nightly News.



U.S. Policy Was to Shoot Korean Refugees; "More than a half-century after hostilities ended in Korea, a document from the war's chaotic early days has come to light -- a letter from the U.S. ambassador to Seoul, informing the State Department that American soldiers would shoot refugees approaching their lines."

Marines' Families Discuss Iraq Incident; "Two Marines were severely traumatized when told to photograph the corpses of men, women and children after members of their unit allegedly killed as many as two dozen unarmed Iraqi civilians." Now, now...the military has no time for sissy boys when war's on! "Real men" drink beer and then go on to commit mass murder without even batting an eyelash, obviously.

Bush 'planted fake news stories on American TV'; "Some of the fake news segments talked up success in the war in Iraq, or promoted the companies' products."

A video game (first-person shooter) slated for release in October features a lead character who's a member of a paramilitary group with a mission to make America into a theocracy. If people won't convert to "true Christianity," you get to kill them. And you won't believe who is behind the creation of this game (no, it's not Rockstar).

Parody of Japan anthem spreading as protest; "An English parody of Japan's national anthem with the title "Kiss Me" is spreading on the Internet, the latest protest over forcing teachers to sing the song at school ceremonies." It appears that Kimigayo and The Star Spangled Banner are in the same boat.

TMI guard playing a video game fails to see inspector; he was so absorbed in the Gameboy that he didn't realize the plant was going through a surprise inspection. Playing games instead of monitoring the nuclear plant...there's a real-life Homer Simpson for you.

Downloads of Net porn hit record high; the article tries to link those who view online porn to pedophilia...sorry, but the real world doesn't work that way. If you're a pedophile, it's safe to say that you indulged in those tendencies before you started looking at regular porn (if you ever viewed regular porn).

Times plans frontpage story on Democratic leader; something about Nancy Pelosi, but it's still "developing...."

AP releases big story: Senate Leader Took Free Boxing Tickets; John from AmericaBlog tells you why it's a non-story.
