Good morning.
"Do you disagree?"

When it comes to Jennifer Griffin and Palkot, yes I do.

Jennifer Griffin has done yeoman's work during this war, along with Mike Tobin. David Palkot has done the same from Lebanon, operating within the constraints imposed on him by Hezbollah.

Jonathan Hunt is so-so to my mind, but Shep is a drama queen who shouldn't be allowed out of the studio.

My point is that it is a stretch to say that FNC has become slanted in favor of the Islamists.

Your critique of the Fox folk is pretty close. I would ban Shep from the screen!

I wouldn't say everyone is slanted. However, during the last three weeks there has become more of a human side to this which has favored the Lebanese and Hezbollah. It is probably inadvertent but it is happening.

Israel's military responses have been harsh. Hezbollahs attacks on civilans has been "record setting". And over the last three weeks, the word "terrorist" is being used less and less by Fox reporters. What has changed?

I understand everyone is working hard to report this as objectively as possible. That is fair and balanced.

Maybe it is just me. I don't see this as fair and balanced. I see terrorists who crossed into a sovereign nation, kidnapping soldiers and killing others, cowardly hiding behind civilians and when bombed cry victimhood.

All this while the UN and the world condemn Israel for a disproportionate use of force against a terrorist group who now appears to have the support of the host government.

And a media who is pretty much reporting that Hezbollah is some humanitarian organization that provides services to the Lebanese population.

What I am also not seeing is why everyone in the media seems willing to call for a cease fire on the conditions of Israel stopping the bombing but none on Hizbollah releasing the kidnapped Israelis and disarming.
