Now I remember why I don't watch TV
Jan. 2nd, 2009 03:47 pmSo you know what's been irritating me lately? The news coverage on the Gaza bombings. I get most of my info from online international newspapers and I was curious to see how it was being covered on the TV here. So after watching here are the general impressions I got:
- The Israeli bombings are a - certainly not reasonable but partially justified - response to terrorist attacks from Hamas
- It's an equal conflict
- Palestinians are not allowing reporters into Gaza
:@ So guys. Which of these are laughably incorrect and show a distinct bias in reporting? I will give you a clue, impression 2 in particular induces in me deep rage. Here is another clue: it's not the only one. A third: try checking the death counts on each side.
