It's was just a tiny patch.
Now he knew why the newschannels only show the same buildings over and over again!


I hate to admit it took me awhile to catch on to this bit of journalistic sleight-of-hand.

After watching the Friday night ABC NightLine show, I started to notice that for
every single "landscape" view, there were ALWAYS standing, apparently undamaged
houses not too far away (couple of hundred yards/meters?).

And now I wonder if the b@stards with the cameras probably weren't using
wider-angle lenses to make it look even that far off.

Listening to our reporters you'd think the "zone of devastation" was about a thousand times
bigger than the square footage of Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, Dachau, Sobibor,
Nagasaki, and Hiroshima combined.
I'm sure it seems that way to some of the innocents caught in events...but mis-leading
reportage doesn't help the cause of the suffering Palestinian.

The only difference between some members of the press and Arafat is that
Arafat doesn't shave every day.
