AP/AFP/REUTERS/YAHOO! NEWS at it Again
At this point, it’s no longer a surprise when we find that major news networks have a huge bias. It still, however, shocks me how they will do anything to make Israel look bad. Now, Israelis regretfully killed 18 Palestinians. Why/How you can find out at any major “news” network. However, propaganda exposure you can find here:
I went through like 300+ pictures on Yahoo! News and they had pictures from Reuters, the A(w/t [MM]P, and the AFP. Now, aside from the fact that in all 300+ captions they mention that Israel troops killed 18 Palestinian civilians, mostly women and children, they also mixed photos of mourning people at a “funeral” with the destruction of the city that the Israelis caused. Now, if they had put the pictures of the destruction all in the same group, you would have noticed that they simply took the same building and shot pictures of different people standing in/on/around it.
Notice, also, the progression of the hole in the wall- pardon the pun. First it starts off kind of small (1), then it gets slightly larger (3), then it’s large enough to fit 2 small children in (4). Are people doing construction work and attending the funeral at the same time? Are photographers, then, just happening to get shots without the demolishers and with random by-standers? Interesting if you ask me.

I find it hard to believe that the AP, AFP, Reuters, and Yahoo would have such a bias…

Yes we are a minority.. I’ll check you out for sure. I’m actually working up in New York doing some activism with other college students. I generally do commentary also, but I do enjoy this as well.
This is the first time I’ve gotten a link from LGF and HotAir. I’m as gitty as a schoolgirl that just got the part of cinderella.

Keep exposing it… I’m all for that. Maybe other Americans will start “getting” it.

That’s what’s so great about the blogosphere…
Remember when Charles Johnson exposed the Reuters stringer over the summer? As well as other scandals that have surfaced due to him and others in the blogosphere…
He was even on CNN (not that it’s an honor or anything)

Thanks Mole.. I’ll add you to my rss feed. I’m trying to do way too much at once today so forgive me if I’m unable to go on it right away.
And yes, constant, unapologetic exposure of their tactics is the only way to get them to stop. If they don’t stop, at least people will know they aren’t as credible as was once thought.
What I have here isn’t even the worst of it. They plastered like 200 images of those dead babies all over the Internet. I mean, I’m all for shock value but come on, this is just disgraceful. I’m not trying to dicount human life, but if you’re going to post the dead babies, post Israeli dead babies too.

Yes, LGF and HotAir got me into blogging. I used to think it was only for nerds and wannabe poets.

Thanks for the effort you’ve made to expose yet another fauxtography incident. Lamentably, it’s starting to feel as if the piecemeal process of finding and displaying the truth hardly stands a chance against the flood of lies, fabrications, and distortions that inundate the MSM on a daily basis and gain immediate credence. The Israelis take pains to minimize damage and casualties as they go after enemy soldiers…and then the “civilians” in enemy territory injure themselves and destroy their own property for propaganda value. Next time, the Israelis should level the whole building. The Palis will have a hard time enlarging the hole in the wall if there’s no wall left.

The “MSM” is beginning to lose credibility. We can’t just expect to overthrow countless years of media credibility with a little bit of truth can we? No, we need a lot of truth. And we’re getting it. I personally am not too into “reporting” but rahter commenting on and exposing “reporters”. Currently bloggers haven’t done TOO much (The have done some) actual reporting. Our (Well, not so much mine yet. But I can be hopeful, can’t I?) credibility has been mostly gained through exposing MSM lies. I think blogging is going to adapt in the coming years and I want to be there for it.
As for the Israelis, I fully support them, but I’m very glad to see restraint on their part when they can show it. But they shouldn’t sacrifice themselves for “world opinion”.
