Am I missing the thread...

Israel has also been censoring this war from the very beginning. It's funny but I've pointed out many doctored pictures by Reuters in the last year and not a peep from the forum wingnuts, but doctor a little smoke over Beriut and the wing-nuts go nuts.

I'm editing this and pointing to an error in my first post.

I said Anderson Cooper was talking about Israel, he was talking about Hezbollah. Regardless, there are media hypsters on both sides of this conflict, especially since nearly all outlets are either chained to the Israeli press ministers or have to submit their copy for approval and possible fact redaction.

I think all you have to do is look at the destruction in Beruit and Haifa and you'll instinctively know that there are many sad photo's taken and not taken on both sides. Whott can post as many pictures that he thinks are phony as he wants, but you can't fake the destruction of the infrastructure in the background of the photos. It's just sad.

Now as far as the "thinks are phony" part? What of the posted pictures is real?

Not only did Reuters cop to the smoke picture being fake, any media watcher has to admit that there are ethical problems that are happening with the pictures coming out of this conflict.

It's likely Hezbollah censors pictures and logistical stuff and we know they likely set up shots for the media, but there are many Israeli spys in Lebanon and its not like the M$M is interwoven with either side, if Israel can run a PR campaign for the war, what about Hezbollah? Both sides have been ready for this battle for some time.

The destruction in Lebanon. Beruit under seige. The humanitarian crisis...

Same thing, other side of the border.

This isn't a choice, this is happening to both sides.

Yoni attacking the straw man again? of course this guy who doctored the photo represents all of the media.. I mean anyone with half a brain realizes this guy is the mainstream media..

Some would consider a country that attacks another under false pretenses, toppling their government, destabilizing an entire crucial area of the world, and causing thousands of deaths to be terrorists. o, Bushco...

or worse ..starting an unecessary war..

Video of this guy actually directing the shots, in this war, and in the past...and he's been doing this for years.

It's amazing to me that no one sees that Hezbollah and all the Terrorists actually want civillian deaths and exploit them to the fullest potential, to take advantage of our useful idiots...


They deliberately put their civillians at risk, they embed themselves with them...and when attacking that is the group they try to attack as well.

What is amazing to me is that Whottt fails to see that nobody here is championing Hezbollah. Criticism of one side of this war is not de facto support for the other.
