And if you believe that, you probably believe Barack Hussein Obama isn't paying off the SEIU's Andy Stern with a healthcare bill.
The fact of the matter is this....ONE news outlet covered the story of the Taliban firing a mortar that hit a civilian house in Afghanistan killing two children and injuring 13 members of one family. One member of the media covered it. Wanna guess who?
China View. Yep. That's right...a Chinese news media outlet covered the story here....to a limited degree mind you, but at least they covered it.
The likes of MSNBC, CNN, NBC, CBS, and ABC along with the New York Times, Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times, all notorious for splashing headlines and doing indepth reports on every single civilian casualty in Afghanistan that could be remotely associated with U.S. military action, were silent on this one.
I'd like to note that Afghanistan President Karzai also remained silent on the death of the two children - I guess he only berates American soldiers and Marines.

Two more employees of a road construction company were killed and two others sustained injuries as a roadside bomb struck their vehicle in the same province on Monday morning.
As part of a new tactic, Taliban militants have resorted to roadside bombings and attack construction workers and supplying convoys to mount pressure on Afghan government.
