It always makes me shudder a little bit when I read some ‘journalist’ quoting terrorists like Hamas or Hezbollah saying they shouldn’t have done something. They never say it was wrong to do it, but that the result from it was wrong. The ‘journalists’ never seem to question that. Like the Foxnews people. The Hamas gov’t types always said, “Doing this doesn’t help us.” They never once said, “Doing this is wrong” without adding on the, “because it isn’t helpful.”
They understand that the media is part of their battlespace and they use it fairly well. Of course, that requires a tacit approval and complicity from the media. I can never understand why ‘journalists’ give them that complicity. It seems pretty despicable to me.

Old news – several sources had Nasrallah telling Lebanon’s government the “if he had known…” story. What has always been underreported is that Nasrallah implicated Lebanon’s PM and President as approving of the operation in advance.

Actually I am surprised that this story hasn’t gotten more coverage.

I can and do find fault with the Fourth Estate and I try to obtain “news” from various sources and filter it to (hopefully) ascertain the truth. The media are not impartial when it comes to Israel-my opinion you understand. :)
