Falsely fanning the flames

Flopping Aces is thinking the MSM is quoting some shady sources:

But it appears that our MSM is getting the “anarchy” stories from the enemy themselves. That cannot be trusted. I mean the big story yesterday was these six burned alive and now no one can find any evidence that this happened except the word of the enemy.

How many more of these stories are embellished?

Read the rest and keep scrolling.  And hats off to Curt for his tenacity.

H/T Blackfive.

UPDATE: Along the same line, Patterico is questioning the L.A. Times:

Is the L.A. Times reporting unconfirmed enemy propaganda from an Iraqi stringer with ties to the insurgency? Or is the paper simply misreporting the facts, and failing to seek out and report the military’s side of the story?

You be the judge.

Read and scroll, read and scroll.  If Iraq is lost to the "insurgency", American media will have played a very large role.
