Default Palestine and Media Coverage

thought this was interesting dont know the validity of it but it makes you think with the current level of strife over there this does make a "weapon" for palestinians and Hezbollah

Watched 4 minutes of it and then had enough. It seems pretty absurd and also biased. The first incident was the guy who got shot. They criticize the Palestinians for dragging the guy to an ambulance. The moronic narator says is this anyway to bring an injured man to an ambulance? They were under fire, moron! They didn't have time to bring out the stretcher.

In any case, at the beginning of the film the guy said that the target was an Israeli SETTLEMENT. That's all I needed to hear. Israel is fucking stealing land again. How would any person in here respond to having their land annexed by another country?

True to an extent

i am sure some of what is filmed and some of the incidents are trumped my only reason for posting this was this is a major tool used in the ME by all sides the media and portrayal of incidents

watching aljazeera and the palestine TV on link tv

some of its reports with people look almost staged to the extent that the people are theatric in their actions and statements

The problem is that Al-Jazeera is so revered that it doesn't matter how obviously slanted their info is. People in the M.E. will just gobble it up.
