Heh... I saw the pile of tires burning in Time Magazine yesterday while I was waiting on my car at the auto shop and I thought of this thread. I couldn't believe that Time had run it. They're supposed to have excellent photo editors...


Anyway, Steeler, that video sums up the source of my disgust pretty well...

I just stumbled across this site and watched this video (you might wanna save as). I don't know what to think. Hopefully some intrepid TGers will have some time to conduct a full investigation.

Edit: another terrific video from the same site: http://www.seconddraft.org/streaming/pallywood.wmv

The Harvard Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy, hardly a bastion of neocon wingnut thinking, has issued a paper that absolutely skewers the media for their outrageously biased and terrorist-enabling behavior.

Journalists did Hezbollah’s work, offering little resistance to the Islamic militia’s effort to portray itself as an idealistic and heroic army of the people, facing an aggressive and ruthless enemy. With Hezbollah’s unchallenged control of journalists’ access within its territory, it managed to almost completely eliminate from the narrative crucial facts, such as the fact that it deliberately fired its weapons from deep within civilian population centers, counting on Israeli forces to have no choice but defend themselves by targeting rocket launchers where they stood. Hezbollah’s strong support from Syria and Iran — including the provision of deadly weapons — faded in the coverage, as the conflict increasingly became portrayed as pitting one powerful army against a band of heroic defenders of a civilian population.
