Media Bias Against Israel

The media aims its missiles | Jerusalem Post: "Large sections of the international media are not only misreporting the current conflict in Lebanon. They are actively fanning the flames.

The BBC World Service has a strong claim to be the number one villain. It has increasingly come to sound like a virtual propaganda tool for Hizbullah, and as it desperately attempts to prove that Israel is guilty of committing 'war crimes' and 'crimes against humanity,' it has introduced a new charge - one which I have heard several times on air in recent days.

The newscaster reads out carefully selected 'audience comments,' and among these we are told that 'Israel's attack on Lebanon' will serve as 'a huge recruitment drive for al-Qaida worldwide.' But if anything is going to win new recruits for bin Laden and his like, it will not be Israel's defensive actions, which are far less damaging than western TV stations have been trying to convince us, but the inflammatory and hopelessly one-sided way in which they are being reported by those very same news organizations. . ."

It gets worse.
