FOX News is the absolute media whores of all time.
Edited on Tue Mar-16-04 11:35 AM by keithyboy
Reporting on the IDF bombings in Gaza just now and all they can keep saying is that the bombings were in retalition for the suicide bombings in Israel. They never say that the suicide bombings were in retaliation for the 14 Palestinians, including children that were killed by Israel as part of their "targeted assassinations" which is an internatinally illegal policy to begin with. But no one seems to care to hold Israel to the same standards as the Arabs. It is just sickening what the American media has come to. a 10-year old Palestinian child is shot in the back and it is treated just like a dog was shot. Palestinians are killed every day by the IDF and Israeli helicopter missiles and virtually nothing is printed in American media. You have to read about it in foreign newspapers. Now FOX tires to make this kind of bombing look like a justified retaliation that happened in a vacuum. US F-16s used in this attack makes the US complicit.

Palestinian educational facility is also blasted to rubble.

1. I'm not sure who to be more insulted by...

...Fox or you. Unless you've been living in a vacuum everyone knows that it's retaliation after retaliation after retaliation over there.
It goes without saying.

3. While it's true that we know
"that it's retaliation after retaliation after retaliation" - that does not mean that it does NOT continue to be an outrage when FOX (& al.) continues to report as they do.

Probably 99.9% of the opinions expressed here are things that have been expressed many times over - so why bring THAT up. :shrug:
