Hope Amid Despair?
Indeed, thanks to the unprofessional reporters abroad, and their disingenuous chiefs back home, the world never saw the killers who sent the rockets nor many of their civilian victims on the ground in Israel. Nor did the reporters apprise their audience of the different landscapes in which they worked: candor in Israel might win loud disagreement; truth in Lebanon meant death. It would be as if Reuters, AP, or the New York Times embedded its reporters within the Waffen SS, beaming daily reports back home about the great morale and noble suffering of the Wehrmacht as it advanced into the snowy Ardennes.

We hope, I hope that at least we all hope, that our leaders are not fooled so easily as some here.

Yes, some of us are definitely fooled here.
For example, some of us would be fooled into believing what this guy says in the above paragraph. Others aren't fooled because we saw with our own eyes coverage of destruction in Israel, stories about bomb shelters in Israel, body counts of innocents in Israel, photos of destruction in Israel, a daily count of exactly how many rockets were fired into Israel. So when this fellow says "they didn't cover it", he's fooling people, because I saw it in the mainstream media.
I find it odd that he specifically mentions that they didn't film the killers firing the rockets. Why doesn't he volunteer for that job? It sounds pretty dangerous.
