Did we not learn from Katrina that the Big Media get big stories wrong? As best as I can tell, the U.S. media are repeating most of the information about the bombing of Qana that is being reported by the Arab media, including Hezbollah TV.
I am convinced that the Big Media are not only hostile to Israel’s right to defend itself, just as they are hostile to our efforts in Iraq, but they are incapable of reporting accurately and comprehensively about the war on terrorism. I’ve yet to see any U.S. reporter or cameraman embedded with Hezbollah reporting about their tactics, brutality, and whereabouts, and sending pictures of all of it to the rest of the world. Of course, Hezbollah has no intention of giving them such access. So, as in the case of Qana, they run to the scene of the devastation, provide no context or perspective for what occurred (or de-emphasis it), while repeatedly pointing to Israel as the culprit....
We now wait to learn how those people died in the bombed building in Qana as some reports indicate that the building didn’t collapse until some eight hours after it was hit. But the rush to judgment has now become news, and news becomes fact, and if we later find out that Hezbollah either wouldn’t let those people leave the building or are otherwise responsible for killing them, it won’t matter. It won’t matter to the U.S. media, the U.N., the EU, or most of the rest of the world. Israel has been condemned and judged guilty by those who either wish for her demise and/or continue to preach appeasement in the face of genocidal fanatics....
