Besides for the biased reporting, is it ethical for Ramit Plushnick-Masti to take someone else’s reporting, edit it, and then remove the actual reporter’s name and replace it with his?

Meryl,
The Israeli Govt., cannot get its word our because their message will not be truly quoted and will be spun; taking out of context and Dowding the meaning will be the passtime of the MSM, according to its agenda.

There will be no link to the official Statement and in many cases the story will not be run at all.
When it doesn’t suit the media they ignore it.
There have been many examples these past few months to illustrate this.

And again the types the media employ to report from Israel are certainly not upstanding people:
A Case of ‘Accidental’ Plagiarism

An editor’s note in the New York Times yesterday demonstrates the lengths to which the Times will go out on a limb for its error-prone, biased Jerusalem bureau chief, Steven Erlanger.

To further illustrate the bias of the media remember that under duress they continued to support the people threatening them, in Lebanon and the Palestinian areas.

That was not the AP's code of ethics. It was the Code of Ethics that the AP insists that Israel (not the Pali's) follow.

The AP’s code of ethics?
Filed next to Madonna’s virginity and Streisand’s humility.

I just want to thank you for your fantabulous blog. I think the Israeli govt. ought to hire you fulltime to get the word out. You always do such a great job of dissecting news stories, speeches, etc. to get to the nitty-gritty (your compare and contrast bits like the one in this post are simply second to none)- and you just make so much SENSE!

So thank you again. I think you do Israel a great service, and your writing is just so darn readable (does that make sense?)

Keep up the excellent work!

Can anybody get her ladyship's response to this: Qassam rockets launched at southern town of Ashkelon What is Ms. Rice's excuse for Prince Charming's behaviour? By the way how's this for chutzpah?: "You will be very welcome in Jerusalem and the holy places," Abbas told the Pope at the end of a private audience in the Vatican. (Reuters)
