Olmert: foreign media biased in Hizbollah coverage
JERUSALEM, July 23 (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert accused the international media on Sunday of bias by not properly portraying the "murderous viciousness" of the Lebanese guerrilla group Hizbollah in its war with the Jewish state.
"The massive, brutal and murderous viciousness of Hizbollah is unfortunately not represented in its full intensity on television screens outside of Israel," Olmert told reporters.
"A twisted image is presented, where the victim is presented as an aggressor."
...
At least 37 Israelis have died, 17 of them civilians killed by Hizbollah rockets on the north of the country.

Classic Neocon move, blame the media for bad coverage while you bomb civilian infrastructure and create a humanitarian crisis.
