D: I actually saw a clip where the ‘journalist’ talked about Israeli aircraft dropping “flare bombs”!!! I had a good laugh over that, I probably should have been crying though.

Perhaps the point of the "journalists" was to make Israel look like they were mounting all sorts of military attacks? In the final analysis, most of the public will not ask the questions many here are asking. That means, Reuters accomplished their mission of creating the impression the Israeli's were mounting attacks. So long as no one seriously questions Reuters or those questions do not make it to the old establishment media newsdesks, then Reuters has once again accomplished their mission of making it look like Israel is using state of the art advanced weaponry against a "civilian" (sic) population who only possess bows & arrows. I have not heard or heard of any of the newsdesks making any mention or questioning the photo's. That media are not factually reporting so they can maintain contact or access to the situation, is deplorable. Seems to me, CNN did this w/ Saddam. They did not want to report what was really happening because he would have canceled their credentials to work in the battle zones or countries. That is what bothers me as well. That means, media will only be able to report one side of the affair, because one of the sides controls content. Its like allowing terrorists & despots to become editors.

A)Who says so? B)This is odd. No Hamas casualties? Guess Gaza civilians are all anti-Hamas. Conclusion: AP = Reuters.

Photographers can move photos onto the wire without supervision. This includes cropping, Photoshopping, captioning and titling. My guess is you've got a typical dishonest Palestinian/Arab stringer type who shot the photos and put them up. The morons at Reuters are too dumb to know his captions are wrong...and too biased to care. Bob–

Revenue is down because of their contrived and one sided "news", so they are using their money for photoshop and publishing software. The “drive-by media” is becoming the “click-by media”.

Reuters is not in the service of Hamas, but photo captions can mislead and more effort should be made to make them clearer. You make a serious point, why not make it under a serious headline?

Now I'm wondering how long it will take our own news media to report the truth. They sure didn't during the primaries and their still not reporting the truth. I have been boycotting them since the beginning of 2008 when I realized it was hopeless to hear any truth. Fox I watch but even O'Reilly seems lax when it comes to Obama. I believe the opportunity was missed purposefully for him to provide a real birth certificate to show that he is a natural born citizen of the USA. I don't believe he will do what all the hype hopes he will. I think he will placate to the Arabs as so many other countries have done or are still doing. Britain and France are gone forever. I read today that in Denmark the headmasters of the schools do not want Jewish children enrolled anymore. If this war with Hamas is not won by the Israelis then I think we will witness a second Holocaust. Ours will soon follow. We have an Arab who is in the process of obtaining US citizenship threatening the USA on Egyptian television. Can we wake this country up soon enough.
