As a highly professional expert - and a native English speaker I suppose - you simply CANNOT make a grammatical error in English, like in the last sentence of the one before the last paragraph: "No creature, no matter how powerful, can survive if it’s senses betray it, especially in a war zone." Correctly not "it's" senses, but "its senses" without the apostrophe. I am NOT a native English speaker, English is not my mother tongue (it is ("it's"!!!) Hungarian), but this is a very ugly error from a writer-journalist-academic, please choose I don't know which exactly. I know this type of error especially wel since our teacher in high school punished for making such an error more than 10 years ago... Yours faithfully, Gabor Fränkl (29) P.S.: If you decide not to publish this post, then at least please call Mr. Landes's attention to my observation and remark, please - for his sake.

While it is obvious what France 2 resorted to in its conduct of news reporting, let us not forget who is the potentially even more dangerous and manipulative in twisting the truth here. Our hidden beloved "pal" (i.e.: British Broadcasting Corporation). Because of their international reach, tens of millions of audience and "zillions" of Ł resorces they are as much, if not more, lethal as this French channel. The BBC'c catalogue of sins is so long that there are more than one web-site (biasedbbc, bbc-watch, etc.) dedicated solely to uncover their lies, manipulative tendencies and spin. I firmly believe that they are masqurading as professional journalists whom have had behind-the-scenes agendas all along in the past 20-30 something years re: Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Indeed, it is not by chance that they resorted to litigation in a desperate attempt to obstruct the eventual opening the so-called Balen files - Malcolm Balen who in a thorough examination that amounted to thousands of pages (neraly 20.000 if I know well) documented the biases of the broadcaster. They (the BBC) are the big fish here - let's not forget that... G.F. Look, I think there is a trick here.

Once the lawsuits start filing in, it will be impossible to keep this groundbreaking story bottled up. Still very little from MSM outlets.

So far, nothing on CNN, MSNBC or Fox. Maybe, whatever the ideological outlook of the news company, a story that some reporters staged a story and the fraud was knowingly broadcast strikes too close to home?

Post was a photo of a young girl, approx 10 yrs. old with her leg in a cast, the mother was sitting in a chair with both hands clutching at her hair and she looked to be screaming. The father was on both knees on the floor with both hands clutching at his hair as he let out a painful looking scream. All of them looking at the camera for the perfect shot of a family in pain after a U.S. bombing mission. That photo looked so staged I stopped reading the Post. Most in the mainstream media think we're morons they can fool without fear of reprisal. These people need to be stopped before we're forced to say goodbye to our freedoms. They need to be hurt where they will feel it most. In their bank accounts. On the front page of the Wash.

This was another major media event proved false. I recall a media outlet showing video of a "dead" civilian on a stretcher from an overhead helicopeter. They followed the stretcher until it got around a building. The "dead" civilian jumped off the stretcher and walked away. I recall seeing this some weeks or months after the Jenin "massacre" was reported over and over. However, I only once saw the film. To state the obvious, you have to wonder how many other reported tragedy/accidents have occurred to Palestinian civilians which were no such thing. Don’t forget Jenin.
