WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Pentagon officials on Sunday said the U.S. military has secured a facility in southern Iraq that may have been used to produce chemical weapons.

Did you even read the article before you attempted to use it? It said :
Pentagon officials: U.S. may have found Iraq chemical weapons plant
Key word = MAY
Then the article stated (are you sure read the article before posting this link??)
"The officials cautioned that it was not clear what suspect materials may still be at the plant, which is located in Najaf, some 90 miles south of Baghdad"
Now lets hear Fox's side of the same story :
March 23: The network begins 2 days of unequivocal assertions that a 100-acre facility discovered by coalition forces at An Najaf is a chemical weapons plant. Much is made about the fact that it was booby trapped. A former UN weapons inspector interviewed on camera over the phone downplays the WMD allegations and says that booby-trapping is common. His points are ignored as unequivocal charges of a chemical weapons facility are made on Fox for yet another day (March 24). (Only weeks later is it briefly conceded that the chemicals definitively detected at the facility were pesticides.)
Extremely different was the evening coverage at FOX News. Across the bottom of the screen was a bold, outlined graphic stating, "HUGE chemical weapons facility found near Baghdad". Linda Vester was the evening anchor and "broke" into the story to viewers. In a most serious tone and expression, she asserted, "the Marines found a HUGE chemical weapons facility in An Najaf". It got even further away from reality. Along with her guest, she proceeded to assert, "this validates President Bush's argument with the UN... this is proof that Sadam has been hiding weapons of mass destruction... Hans Blix didn't find this, good thing the military is on the job... and so forth. The graphic remained across the screen for the rest of the evening and Vester, looking as if she had just ducked a bullet, would break in regularly to announce, "a HUGE chemcial weapons facility was found outside of Baghdad". Surely the news director and Vester herself can read the wire story. Yet they said something quite different.
By Monday morning, the investigators had pretty much confirmed this WAS NOT a chemical weapons facility. And how did FOX Nes react? They let the chrade continue. In the afternoon, Shepard Smith cut to a live on-air interview with Sean Hannity who was broadcasting his radio show. Hannity was still going on about Najaf and did not believe the investigators' determination. Hannity clings to it being a chemical weapons facility, even though he is not an investigator nor did he go to Najaf. While integrity would dictate reporting on the investigator's findings, on Monday, all FOX did was add the word "suspected" to their article on their web site.
WOW!! That's some WWE style news reporting... making sure you hype it up to keep the hysteria flowing so viewers continue to suspend reality and buy it's Bushies rhetoric bullshit.
Troops uncover chemical weapons factory - report
http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,918027,00.html
Again, did you read the first sentence of the article it said :
"US troops have found a suspected chemical factory in Iraq, according to unconfirmed reports."
Key word = SUSPECTED
You know... the same key word Fox quietly added to their news story 2 DAYS LATER.
In the push to Baghdad, U.S. forces said they had found a cache of about 3,000 chemical weapons suits as well as a tank and nerve agent antidotes in a hospital in An Nasiriyah.

WTF is this link for? They found suits. Not weapons. I never any made any mention of this incident in my list of lies that Fox told. Then again, Fox reported the exact same thing here, so whatever terrible point you are trying to make with this link, only reflects on the Fox networks as well.
Seriously, this is completely irrelevant to anything I have listed two pages ago. Geez, try to stick with the links and statements of lies I have provided you to work (spin) with.
WMDs for the Taking?
While U.S. troops pushed on to Baghdad, Iraqis were looting radioactive materials from once protected sites

Ok, here we go again :
That article states that a mobile bio lab was found and stripped by looters. Empty. Certainly quite a different version of the wringing of hands, gnashing of teeth as Fox reported :
*snip*
April 10 (3 p.m. EDT: Reporter Rick Leventhal) Fox "Breaking News" report: A mobile bioweapons lab is found. Video of a tiny tan truck—about the size of the smallest truck that U-Haul rents – which had its cargo bed and fuel tank shot up with bullets after a looter tried to drive it away. Repeated assertions that this is most definitely a "bioweapons" lab. A graphic sequence is shown of a large Winnebago-type vehicle that is massive compared to the tiny truck found. The irony of this escapes the Fox newscasters and defense "experts."
[This was the first "bioweapons lab" found, not the larger one later found in Mosul. A week later it is briefly conceded that the tiny truck was probably never a bio weapons lab, but promises that real ones will pour forth from the landscape continue. The second phantom lab, a large tractor-trailer truck was discovered around May 2 by Kurdish fighters.]
As I have told you already, Fox reported what they thought was true
(no, it was what they WANTED to be true) , which turned out to be wrong
(no surprise there..duh) , just like the rest of the mainstream media
oh no... if so, where are the mainstream media's reports of those Iraqi drone planes that were capable of flying to U.S. cities and attacking? Or the other crap they have spewed? Any other reports by media stations listing Foley as a Democrat? Or their claims of the Civil War in Iraq was just made up by th media? hmmm? Or Hezbollah possessing nukes? gosh, I can't remember any other network reporting that. :
