News Media Milking Deaths in War

Not that this is a groundbreaking idea that the media loves carnage, but I thought it was relevent as many people in the ridiculously titled Did Hitler Have the Right Idea thread were discussing the accuracy of the media. So I decided to show it in a new thread. It shows the bias in the media or at least the bias which is born from them media obsession with death.

WARNING: Please don't look at this link unless you are prepared to see the carnage of war.

These are graphic pictures of the Qana mess taken by Reuters, a source for many photos in papers/news agencies across the US and Europe.

the job of the media is to report news. war and therefore death is news.
in most countries you have to search for these kind of images. we should not be protected from the realities of war. that is not milking it

call me cynical but if israel hadn't bombed the place, the opportunity to "milk" pictures like that would be greatly reduced...

just saying y know.

Living in the Land of the Rising Paedophile Penises, sorry I mean Japan, I am unfortunate in that my cable company only offers CNN. There is one cunt, I don't know his name, who always has a smile on one side of his face when he is reporting death. He is about 50 years old. If anyone can't post a picture of the fellow I will give you a few brownie ponts. Cant be bothered to look for it myself.

Anyway, CNN always report a bombing (for example) and then say that they can't show the scenes of the dead victims because they are too gruesome. I don't understand this. They masturbate to death and violence, they dramatise it by adding dramatic music and subjective and opinionated commentary from 'reporters'. It's a ****ing joke of a network. I was staying in a hotel last week and saw the BBC's Hardtalk. That is a proper news channel. Not ****ing CNN. Cunting Not News is what it should stand for. CNN=CUNTS.

American news=entertainment. Shove that in your anus.

brilliant bit of commentary lol .......

how bout fox news =

****ing opinionated xenophobic news.

Here are two more ridiculous showings of leftist bias in the media. Reuters, probably the most cited photo/journalism source in the world milking death and just plain lying. At the very least, unaware and unbelieveably inept. This story is just heating up and goes in concert with the fact that Reuters and Lebanese listed 60 or so deaths in Lebanon the other day, when really there were only, reportedly, 27 or less now. Reuters again and again reuses photos from previous attacks as well in order to twist the minds of people against Israel.

Here's another great example of fair European news.

Now tell me again why FOX is any worse than your bias lying media over there? Yeah, they get it wrong now and again and they often grossly editorialize, but they have never done anything like this. These are just plain lies. And Reuters was in charge of their dissemination. They are either inept and ignorant of ethics and photoshop, or they let it slip by and did not question it because of a bias. Those are the only explanations.

Keep in mind the immense weight Reuters carries in the world media.

Here are two photos used by Reuters both taken on the same day in the same site but said to be taken months apart.

So glad I have so many sources for news, including FOX, not just BBC or Reuters.

B

The pictures are staged and glorify Hezbollah and elicit sympathy not fairness. And they are used again and again as supposed pictures from different bombings when they are infact, only from one day in which the reporter followed the Hezbollah around.

This 'news' is so twisted as to be propoganda for Hezbollah.

So don't talk to me about FOX being biased (except Geraldo there is no excuse for Geraldo or his moustache or Greta VanSustran...). This is all proof of much worse ethics violations than anything FOX has done. People need to check several sources for their news.

B

Call me a realist, but I believe it is a violation of international law (and a treaty Hezbollah/Lebanon agreed to in 2000 I believe) to fire rockets (for years and just before this conflict) at Israel and raid Israel and take Israelie soldiers captive.

This is what began this month-long ordeal. Not Israel. And Lebanon and its government and military and people sure aren't trying to stop Hezbollah and they never have. They may almost as well be the same entity.

KRB Posts = Entertainment. No need to shove anything in your orifice to enjoy them either. Oh, but what a wonderful suppository it would be. Very cleansing, I am sure.

BTW: I had no idea cunt was a verb. Very informative.

Good point.

I liken it to the US and Canada. If the Canadians (or even a political Canadian subgroup) were lobbing rockets across our border and then kidnapped a few American soldiers - George Bush would make sure that there would be hell to pay. At the very least there would be retaliation. What makes Israel any different?
