Has anyone else here noticed how the MSM reports on the situation in Israel/Lebanon.

The reports always start with "Bombing in Beirut" followed by images of blown up buildings, children with wounds, doctors crying that it is inhuman, and talk about destruction.

Then, after about 10 minutes of that...

"Rockets fired into Israel" followed by a story about children playing in a bomb shelter and how they are smiling and enjoying the relative safety. Maybe a picture of a burning car and very possibly, mention of an injury or death...no pictures. No children dead or maimed. Usually, this will go for about 1 to 2 minutes.

Then, back to Lebanon.... Israeli troops moving in for the kill...

More fire, death, destruction and misery. People wailing for about 4-5 minutes.

I just noticed that it doesn't seem to matter which MSM network is covering it, they do the same story.

In their psuedosophistication, the modern American news media feel they are above any national affilation--"citizens of the world." They believe their "profession" excuses them from the mundane responsibilities of normal Americans like patriotism or concern for the national interest. The very people the media despise are the ones who create the wealth and the power that allow mainstream "journalists" to be the social deadbeats.

On the local news of ABC, NBC, and FOX - nothing was said regarding the recent statement by the muslim leader that they would kill all infidels from Iraq to Spain and annihilate America. This is coming from Southeast Michigan, home to Dearborn - which has the highest number of Arabs per capita of any city outside of the Middle East. Hmmmmmmm?
