CNN does not disappoint.
The headline: Israeli forces push deeper into Gaza; death toll rises
In the summary: NEW: At least 24 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza Sunday, sources say
The context: None.
The AP: Accepting Palestinian casualty figures blindly while pretending that they’re actually using objective sources and confirmations.
Israeli ground troops and tanks cut swaths through the Gaza Strip early Sunday, cutting the coastal territory into two and surrounding its biggest city as the new phase of a devastating offensive against Hamas militants gained momentum.
The military used overwhelming firepower from tanks, artillery and aircraft to protect the advancing soldiers, and Gaza officials said at least 31 civilians were killed in the onslaught. The military said troops killed several dozen militants, but Gaza officials could confirm only four dead — in part because rescue teams could not reach the battle zones.
Reuters: Oh, please. They’re not even pretending to be objective anymore.
Israeli troops and tanks split the Gaza Strip and ringed its main city on Sunday in an offensive against Hamas militants but civilians trapped in the Palestinian enclave suffered more bloodshed.
Bloomberg News: Finally, a somewhat objective piece.
MSNBC: The headline and subhead say it all.
Israeli forces bisect Gaza, surround biggest city
500 Palestinians killed in just over a week; Hamas rockets slay 4 Israelis
The rest of the story is AP. But the subhead is all MSNBC.
Fox News: What’s that I see? Objectivity? Can.t be. The lead:
Israeli ground troops and tanks cut swaths through the Gaza Strip early Sunday, dividing the coastal territory into three parts in an effort to prevent Hamas militants from accessing weapons.
Israeli defense officials told FOX News that an estimated 30 Hamas militants had been killed in the incursion so far, though precise numbers are difficult to pin down.
Israel’s army also announced that a soldier was killed in the fighting on Sunday — the first Israeli fatality in the ground offensive launched late Saturday
Yes, it can be. Objectivity.
Fox wins.
Update to my readers who are getting here from the CNN article: I’m trying to present the side that you never see—particularly by watching CNN. Try looking around and reading some of the other posts. There are plenty of contrasts to the stories you’ve been getting. And they’re all true. I post nothing that I can’t back up with facts.
I guess there is no solution then. Enjoy your own brand of hate and intolerance but remember, it’s no better than the other guy’s.
You have convinced me Jen. Kill for Peace. Don’t look for alternatives. Might is always right and there is way more money to be made by everyone when there is a good war going on.
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
I’m done. ;-)) I needed a good laugh tonight anyway
I really, truly, do not appreciate your snide remarks and complete misrepresentation of my position. I’ve stated numerous times that none of us love violence and that we want it to end. You must not have been following this conflict for very long and you must not know much about it if you don’t understand that there is a long, long history of seeking solutions.
Educate yourself about what is really going on before you glibly accuse people you don’t even know of hatred and the mammon. Go spend some time with Hamas if you want to see hatred, Jim.
Troll.
I suspect I know the history as well or better than you do. That is not relevent. Ive served in the military and have seen enough hate and killing for a dozen lifetimes. I still have shrapnel in my back. Personally, I’ll work for peace. You keep working on being right.
Troll … hmmm a nice Christian expression I guess.
No, troll is simply an apt description of the way you’ve acted here. You needed a good laugh tonight anyway? You think this is funny?
Good Jim. You work for peace by sending rapists and opportunists into Gaza in the guise of peacekeepers. Makes perfect sense.
you’re right. Enjoy your inner peace, it’s showing. And no it is not at all funny for anyone.
Jim: You are done here. I was hesitant to approve your first comment. I thought you could actually discuss things without resorting to insults.
Obviously, you can’t.
