91. Phony Media photos & stories about the war
Tony ,   Kansas City, MO   (08.09.06)
It is a great relief to see that people are on top of these phony pictures and stories. Keep up the great work. In my opinion, we are in the fight for the survival of civilization as we know it.
92. No truth in the news - No news in the truth
Johnson ,   USA   (08.09.06)
93. Biased left wing media takes aim at Israel
Rodger ,   Jacksonville Fl, USA   (08.09.06)
Unfortunately, the citizens of Israel are now experiencing the same left wing biased news media that conservatives and the religously observant in the USA have to put up with every day. My friends and family often discuss this phenomenon as it is becoming increasingly more like a subtle or sophisticated throw back to propaganda efforts of the 1930s. Dare we say that the forces of evil control a major portion of the worlds news media.
94. OUR Press
Ed Havran ,   Colleyville,TX, US   (08.09.06)
Interesting to note that the Ft Worth,TX Star-Telegram carried a brief story/ Aug 8th. Only 39% of our public trusts the Press. I question it being that high. ed havran / A WWII combat type
95. Israel
Hazakim ,   Nunya, Bidness   (08.09.06)
It's all Israel's fault, those poor innocent Muslims were forced to lie by the Zionist regime.
96. Video proof of staged events
Charles ,   Dallas, TX   (08.09.06)
60 Minutes did an piece on this phenomenon. They explained how it is done in Palestine and show the different setups and outright lies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEYul3VzlIs If the link doesn't work, just search for pallywood on youtube. It's been going on for a while and shouldn't really suprise anyone who pays attention. And to those who say it doesn't matter, it's only a reflection of reality, then why do it? Why not take pictures of reality?
97. #87 ratio of damage done
Ben ,   Fulton, USA   (08.09.06)
I was once the victim of an attempted mugging. Fortunately, I gained the upper hand and beat the snot out of the punk. Does the overwhelming damage that HE suffered make him a victim too? Israel is under no compunction to suffer equally, they were attacked first, from then on, war is hell.
98. RE: NO NO ITS NOT TRUE
JoJo ,   Arlington, USA   (08.09.06)
Wahahaha. Go fight for Hezbollah big shot. What a bad ass. I think its funny how the extremeist terrorists say they will die for their beliefs and then hid in caves like scared animals. All talk and no walk.
99. disgusting
Al   (08.09.06)
It really is disgusting when reporters , with their inflated egos, try and make news and set policy. the story is large enough, just report it.
100. TERRORISM
JoJo ,   USA   (08.09.06)
Definition: The systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion Terror: Violence committed or threatened by a group to intimidate or coerce a population, as for military or political purposes.
101. #19- thank you
top-e5 ,   Houston, Texas   (08.09.06)
You people have brought all this pain and suffering upon yourselves. When you support terrorist, Hamas, Hezbullshit, PLO, you put yourselves in the crosshairs. I'm so glad Isreal finally got tired of all your hatred and are fighting back. Stop Iran, and Syria, from running your country......things in the world would be allot better off.
102. Who Cares? I do.
yanni ,   USA   (08.09.06)
I, for one, care. When the media INTENTIONALLY falsifies documents to support one position/agenda over another or only reports views from one side, it is no longer news, it is propaganda. If Reuters and AP don't want these reporters, Hezbollah and Al-Jazeera will be glad to have them.
103. The Israelis are GENIUSES!!! What An Idea
DrJ ,   Mass, US   (08.09.06)
Brilliant tactic indeed. So let me see: By using this tactic, the israelis were able to manage to add the support of how many countries to their traditional base? Let me see....eeehh....Let me see again... Yep, it is working. DrJ
104. #7
Liz ,   Dallas,TX   (08.09.06)
Wow those pics were amazing!!
105. Mediacracy so Lame
sean rasinski ,   maple grove, USA   (08.09.06)
The Fourth Estate is Corrupt! Freedom-loving people have been dealing with this kind of thing since time immemorial. From Randolf Hearst's pro-war propaganda to Dan Rather's career-starting lies about the Kennedy Assassination to this. It certainly does look like the One-Worlders' agents in the Media seem to really have it in for Israel. May God bless Israel and continue to expose her enemies wherever they may be.
106. 2nd home destruction photo.
Roy Smith ,   USA   (08.09.06)
Caption: " E.T. Phone home."
107. AP Picture question
jane Brommer ,   Lincoln, NE   (08.09.06)
it is about time the truth comes out about how the media in this world is trying to "engineer' the out comes of everything and ALL public opinion!! Let's see MORE uncovered!
108. To Lebanese, to KS, to Om Nour
Carl ,   Denver, USA   (08.09.06)
Lebanese, KS, Om Nour: Your buddies, the fascist Hezbos know that Israel can only be stopped from wiping them out by getting the sympathy from the naiv "west". The side which, like Israel, they hate and loath. One of the instruments is this misinformation campaign of doctored and staged photos. They know how to play the western media like a fiddle. And that the masses in that much hated "west" have no stomach for blood and destruction. They exploit that to the fullest. There are more staged photograhs in the link here below. Sure, the Lebanese people suffer, much destruction all around them and many are forced from their homes. Many die. But the blame lies with the Hezbos. No Hezbos, no more war. You would do yourself and Lebanon a favor by supporting Israel any which way you can to get rid of Hezobollah, the Party of Satan. http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=51456
109. Terrorist Propaganda
Gerry D ,   Boston, U.S.A.   (08.09.06)
Terrorist Propaganda see: New York Times Busted in Hezbollah Photo Fraud! "Dead Guy w/no dust" Click on photos to enlarge & pay attention to the hat and the shorts http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2006/08/new-york-times-busted-in-hezbollah.html "Fauxtography" alert: NYTimes and USNews; plus Time and Reuters' Issam Kobeisi http://michellemalkin.com/ Reuters Commits Four Types of Fraud http://www.zombietime.com/reuters_photo_fraud/
110. WAG THE DOG
Mike Kennedy ,   omaha, usa   (08.09.06)
the palestinian woman pic reminds me of the scene in Wag the Dog. The media is biased against Israel, but when have they not been? My prayers are with the IDF and the Israeli people.
111. #93
William ,   Jacksonville, FL USA   (08.09.06)
Oh man...you crammed so much comment worthy BS into that first sentence...I almost don't know where to start. First of all media bias goes both ways, so to making a sweeping comment that all media is leaning left is just ignorant and inflamatory. Second of all, I must have missed something that requires me to be godless in order to claim myself as a Democrat. Put down your Ann Coulter books and go make some Democratic friends...we aren't all hethens.
112. to 28
Joe ,   New York   (08.09.06)
I heard that tanks and other military vehicles only go in reverse...
113. to #28
rabidcoyote666 ,   usa   (08.09.06)
ok....then why doesn't the 'french' open their eyes and realize the truth? or are you another socialist muslim? (there's two things that really make nonsense...LMAO)
114. AP Beirut photo faces questions
J. Philip ,   Mt. Olive, La , USA   (08.09.06)
Ahhh So # 28 , still backing the Islamic Terrorist Savages , huh ? The Americans are well aware that AP , APF , Reuter's , NYT and the rest of the Euro-Media are all liars and they are actively seeking the destruction of Israel , as you are. Just remember , if they will lie about that then they will lie about those 72 Virgins , who will turn out to be 72 Virginians.
115. EVIL
zach ,   houston, TX   (08.09.06)
I'm glad to hear so many moving and caring comments. Violence upon more violence does NOT solve this. It only ruins more lives. Look at the huge loss of life on the Lebanese side compared to Israel's and tell me Israel is justified in their actions. You so-called humans make me sick. Doctored photos, staged photos, who f_ckin cares! Lebanese are being slaughtered by a country that could wipe them out in no time, and you want me to feel bad for Israel?
116. #111
Victor ,   Dallas, USA   (08.09.06)
You sound like a Palestinian or any of the above Lebanese... you're correct not all media is leaning left; Fox News is straight down the middle, fair and balanced. I say this because, even they swing over to the left on some issues, which counters when they swing to the right. The MSM IS anti-Christian, anti-Jewish religion, anti-Israel, anti-W, pro-homosexual religion, pro-abortion religion and pro-terrorist. One doesn't have read Ann Coulter to recognize the truth right in front of them. Thank GOD for internet bloggers.
117. this has gone too far.
usul ,   Loafers Glory, USA   (08.09.06)

118. fake photos
Lisa ,   Denver, USA   (08.09.06)
That's exactly where they came from....their asses!!!
119. #28
Matt ,   San Francisco   (08.09.06)
The reason the Israelis aren't starving is becaue they have taken care of their land...see Shebaa Farms, the root cause of the Israeli / Lebanese conflict. They've figured out that planting crops, rather than landmines, produces food and fertile soil. The Lebanese should take a lesson. (How's that for staying away from the WWII comments, Jacques?)
120. Lebanon got what it deserves
keith ,   usa   (08.09.06)
Lebanon got what it deserves , they should have complied 6 years ago and unarmed hezzbolla like they said they would . Its obvious that they support these terrorists and now that they are getting their ass kicked they want to cry about it. If the lebonese people want to ever be free they will have to stop being a puppet for Iran. If there is blam to be placed it needs to land squarly on the head of Iran and the lebonese people for not having the guts to stand up to these asshole terrorists and make them leave Lebanon. These pics prove thet the terrorist propaganda machine is alive and well. If lebanon wants the fighting to stop why dont they take up arms and fight against hezzbolla the real crimminals in this situation
