The Al-Dura Affair isn't the only time France 2 has presented staged footage by the Palestinians as real. RichardLandes points out another case in this video report.
This is the first I’ve heard of this particular incident, though I remember previous incidents of staged “news.” (I believe it may have been the AP who featured photos of the same grieving woman in several places, as well as the same “corpses” in various locations, all evidence of alleged Israeli atrocities.)
What I find worth remarking in this video is Richard Landes’ reasoned, dispassionate elucidation of details. In contrast to the shrill, paranoid conspiracy mongers on the left, Landes simply lays out his facts and supports it with his evidence. He ties it up with a completely reasonable statement that we must demand accuracy from news media, lest are mislead to make horrible mistakes in judgment and policy.
I don’t see the point when propaganda has been used by all nations in the media. Staged, misrepresented call it what you want but its unfortunate that most of the sheeple out there don’t understand the governments lunacies uh I mean policies.

I’d like to see this issue get wider coverage.
