Hizbollah Conscripts US Media Against Israel
I remember when Israel was correctly perceived as victim of Arab bullies. Many have been wondering how long it would take for the US mainstream media to begin their turn against Israel and the reigniting of their passionate flames in support of terrorists. I noticed that they began the inevitable turning of the tides in opposition to the Jewish nation protecting itself from what has been called the premiere terrorist organization on the planet, Monday night. During a brief channel-surfing session, I landed on ABC World News Tonight with Charley Gibson. I watched its war coverage for about ten minutes. Yes, I usually watch FNC for news. But, Fox was re-running a story I had already viewed. I entered the program, as it was displaying a mapa map of Israeli hits. The ABC map showed bright yellow-orange indicators of where Israeli rockets had landed in Lebanon. Missing, however, were the orange (or any other color) designations of where terrorist Hezbollah missiles had landed in Israel. From the ABC map, one would believe that Israel had experienced no Hezbollah-landed rockets whatsoeverdespite the inescapable reality that is has sustained hundreds and, most likely, over 1,000 missile-hits. The map also suggested that Israel was carrying out some crazed conflict against the innocent terrorists. This certainly seems like one of the first salvos of the MSM toward rewriting the current Israel-Lebanon wareven before it has begun to reach a resolution. Then ABC had two of its in-Beirut reporters commenting on the destruction and carnage Israel was wreaking on Lebanon. Apparently not able to contain their bias, these reporters actually interviewed Lebanese children. Any mention of the carnage terrorist Hezbollah was inflicting on Israel was glaringly missing from their journalistic efforts. Does ABC even have any reporters located in Israel? One has to wonder. The kicker for me was when one of these reporters referred to Hezbollahnot even using the name of this terrorist organizationreferred to it as the resistance. With this characterization of the terrorist organization that actually trained al-Qaeda, ABC has placed it in the category of freedom fighters. In fact, I only heard the word Hezbollah (which is said to mean Gods Army) twice, during the entire report. Any questions as to which side ABC is on? Posted by: Griper Whegum8464 2006-07-26 |
