***updated with MSM contact info below...Dan Riehl follows up with observations about the ambulance license plates...Related: Daniel Freedman on Hezbollah's helpers at the Red Cross***
Take a good look at these three images of Red Cross ambulances in Lebanon, supposedly deliberately targeted by Israel, and broadcast worldwide by the MSM last month:
On August 6, I linked to Dan Riehl's excellent post raising questions and doubts (his initial post here) about the alleged missile targeting by Israel of the Red Cross ambulances. Infinitives Unsplit first called attention to the dubious ambulance claims on July 27.
Now, Internet documentarian and photojournalist Zombie has compiled a damning, in-depth report on the ambulance claims that the MSM swallowed whole: "The Red Cross Ambulance Incident: How the Media Legitimized an Anti-Israel Hoax and Changed the Course of a War." The intro:
On the night of July 23, 2006, an Israeli aircraft intentionally fired missiles at and struck two Lebanese Red Cross ambulances performing rescue operations, causing huge explosions that injured everyone inside the vehicles. Or so says the global media, including Time magazine, the BBC, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times and thousands of other outlets around the world. If true, the incident would have been an egregious and indefensible violation of the Geneva Convention, and would constitute a war crime committed by the state of Israel.
But there's one problem: It never happened.

If a muzzie is driving it, then it should be treated as a target.
You mean when it rolled over? That was certainly not bombed
Of course they care. they care that their fraudulent methods are kept secret. But that horse has left the barn.
Pretty soon we'll have to create a separate chapter of FR just to expose the Medias lies and work to get them to retract.

the nut:
"This is an important post—perhaps when a future history of blogs is written “The Red Cross Ambulance Incident” will be considered a landmark of the genre. Certainly it moves forward the great “fauxtography” debate, but more than that it helps legitimize bloggers as people who both comment upon and create media content."
This is David Perlmutter's blog. He wrote this last week:

Even more obvious, if you read the zombielife link, is the fact that the hole is exactly where the roof vent was before it was removed. Follow the link, it's incredible.
And it is just th tiny tip of the iceberg.
Lebanon has a very substantial christian population as well, and they are not completely powerless, yet.
Enemedia has been the new term for the media for months now.
I disagree. It has nothing to do with wealth. When reports come out that some Scandanavian country or Luxemborg is wealthier per capita than the US, they blow that horn to show how America is in decline and how socialism can work.
The bottom line is, they hate this country, no matter who our enemy at the time is. They loved Uncle Joe, even though they never acknowledeged they were poor; in fact liberal economists had raging orgasms thinking how superior the central economy of the USSR was to ours.
They hate this country because they hate judeo-christian heritage, liberty for all, american exceptionalism, capitalism, and patriotism. They are self loathing, guilt ridden, God-hating, hideous communists.
At least I KNOW that happens all the time in the pali terror-tories. Likely just as prevalent in hezzie land.
Thanks, Jazu, for keeping that handy!!
Good links. Thanks. It's helpful to have a few allies in academia. Most are very hostile to anything exposing the left.
Only if we force feed them. See Jazusamo's links to th emedia and shoot off a couple emails please.
That horn up the ass is exactly how we need to treat the media tramps.
Thanks for the Ping. It made Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume tonight.
