The sad fact is that the news doesn't have to alter pictures. They slant issues every day by being selective about the stories they report. I would be willing to bet that the stories about the woman losing her husband or her home weren't offset by stories about loss and suffering on the Israeli side. Then they wonder why people are skeptical about the press - before the internet they had complete control and I'm sure they resent being one-upped by the common (in their minds "ignorant") man.
Well said.
