Earth to NYTimes!
The NYTimes's unbelievably biased big blaring headline:
Uh, we seem to be overlooking something:
Palestinians Fire 15 Rockets at Sderot - Shmulik Hadad
Palestinians in Gaza fired at least 15 Kassam rockets at Sderot on Wednesday. Two rockets landed in town, near a school and next to a warehouse, and caused some damage. Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility, saying the barrage was an "initial response" to the killing of four terrorists in Bethlehem.
Prime Minister Olmert visited a school in Ashkelon on Tuesday, where he discovered that students had no time to reach bomb shelters. Olmert asked the children to demonstrate what happens when a Color Red alert sounds, prompting the children to vanish under their desks in seconds. (Ynet News)
The NYTimes ITSELF noted:
Palestinians Fire Rocket at Ashkelon - Isabel Kershner and Taghreed El-Khodary
Palestinian militants in Gaza fired a rocket at the Israeli city of Ashkelon on Tuesday, fracturing a tenuous lull. The rocket landed south of the city and caused no casualties, an Israeli police spokesman said. Ashkelon, a city of 120,000 people about 10 miles north of Gaza, was struck by at least 20 foreign-made, Katyusha rockets during the recent increase in hostilities. (New York Times)
Little Green Footballs is calling it, "Mainstream Media Anti-Israel Day."
If all the Jews in NY stopped buying the NYTimes...
Why is it always reported that the Palestinians fire "rockets", as if rockets aren't targeted directly against civilians so it is okay if civilians become collateral damage, when Israel is aways reported as firing "missiles" and dropping "bombs" and Palis. Doesn't that imply that the civilian casualties Israel accues to be on purpose, given the higher technology and accuracy of "missiles" and "bombs" compared to rockets, so doesn't this, de facto, excuse the massare of human beings for the political agenda of the media?
Thus, are not the media, in truth, war criminals and the facilitators of war criminals?

Yes. But the media sees themselves as the arbiters of truth, justice and the leftist way. They are journalistes, and we are the mere peons who purchase their papers. We know nothing, and it is up to them to fill our brains with the proper pablum in their hope that we will soon begin to tilt left along with them.
