Three hundred French civilians were killed and thousands more were wounded today in the first hours of America's invasion of continental Europe. Casualties were heaviest among women and children. Most of the French casualties were the result of artillery fire from American ships attempting to knock out German fortifications prior to the landing of hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops. Reports from a makeshift hospital in the French town of St. Mere Eglise said the carnage was far worse than the French had anticipated, and that reaction against the American invasion was running high.

"We are dying for no reason, "said a Frenchman speaking on condition of anonymity. "Americans can't even shoot straight. I never thought I'd say this, but life was better under Adolph Hitler."

The invasion also caused severe environmental damage. American troops, tanks, trucks and machinery destroyed miles of pristine shoreline and thousands of acres of ecologically sensitive wetlands. It was believed that the habitat of the spineless French crab was completely wiped out, thus threatening the species with extinction. A representative of Greenpeace said his organization, which had tried to stall the invasion for over a year, was appalled at the destruction, but not surprised. "This is just another example of how the military destroys the environment without a second thought," said Christine Moanmore. "And it's all about corporate greed."

Contacted at his Manhattan condo, a member of the French government-in-exile who abandoned Paris when Hitler invaded, said the invasion was based solely on American financial interests! .

"Everyone knows that President Roosevelt has ties to 'big beer'," said Pierre LeWimp. "Once the German beer industry is conquered, Roosevelt's beer cronies will control the world market and make a fortune."

Administration supporters said America's aggressive actions were based in part on the assertions of controversial scientist Albert Einstein, who sent a letter to Roosevelt speculating that the Germans were developing a secret weapon -- a so-called "atomic bomb". Such a weapon could produce casualties on a scale never seen before, and cause environmental damage that could last for thousands of years. Hitler has denied having such a weapon and international inspectors were unable to locate such weapons even after spending two long weekends in Germany.

Shortly after the invasion began, reports surfaced that German prisoners had been abused by American soldiers. Mistreatment of Jews by Germans at their so-called "concentration camps" has been rumored, but so far this remains unproven.

Several thousand Americans died during the first hours of the invasion, and French officials are concerned that the uncollected corpses will pose a public-health risk. "The Americans should have planned for this in advance," they said. "It's their mess, and we don't intend to help clean it up."

A vile, insensitive piece of trash sarcasm, playing on the ignorance and arrogance that afflicts its readership.

Seems like a good thread to move from the Current Events section. Humor and Satire would fit, though there is no humor in this.

"A vile, insensitive piece of trash sarcasm, playing on the ignorance and arrogance that afflicts its readership."

Yes, you are. And so is the modern day press.

Dont worry barney there's many leni riefenstahls working in the mainstream US media that pander to your beliefs.

Hitler was right when he said that Germany didnt win the media war during WW1.

No, Goebbels currently teaches at an Ivy League College--he's a journalism teacher, training young people interested in working for See BS, or the NY and LA Times.

The leftists really get their gander up when exposed, as this parody so accurately does. I do enjoy the entertainment value you leftists bring, however. Keep it up.

Saw this earlier. I agree with CARCARNI for the firsst time, this belongs over in Sarcasm and Humor.

My take on the Fourth Estate is that it needs to report he truth whether it is what I or you want to hear. There is slanting of reporting but if any of you have the time to research history you will find that in the 19th and early 20th century there was more outright slanting than now.

But since there still is slanting both ways it is most likely true the the truth lies somewhere between CBS and Fox but very likely not squarely in either house.

I think that people if they hohestly analyzed it would find that NPR is nowdays probably telling it like it is more ofetn than Fox.

NPR? yeah, right. There total hatred for Israel blurs everything they report. At FOX, you almost always have people representing both sides of an issue, duking it out, allowing the viewer to make up their own mind. That's fair.

That satire was quite insensitive and serves no intellectual purpose that I can find other than misrepresenting facts and stating the opinions of the writer with an obvious bias.

Barney, that personal attack was a little.... unwarranted....

"At FOX, you almost always have people representing both sides of an issue, duking it out, allowing the viewer to make up their own mind"
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
YOU are FUNNY!!!!
Fox news is the network with the most conservative bias I have ever seen. Ever notice it is only conservatives who claim it is Fair and Balanced(tm)?
That's because it's not.

There IS no fair and balanced source of news in the world today. I personally like the Daily Show, because their slant is quite funny to me, but I by no means report it as an unbiased news source. Although, their slant appears to be against government as a whole, particularly whatever party is in power, and they attack everybody, so i dunno, they seem a little better than most.
But I digress.
If you want an unbiased news source, good luck finding one. It don't exist. People have opinions on issues, so naturally, when they report news, they will put their own spin on it. It has always been that way and always will be that way.

And get back to us next time you win an election. That should be a very long time.
