I've yet to see media exaggerate the deaths on the israeli side. In this case, they'll make sure they get it right. Wouldn't want to smear Hezbollah, you know.

In a word, YES!

The WOT has become a War of Propaganda - you have to dig deep to find the real facts and ALL should do their research. The New Media keeps pictures and stories straight.

I think the MSM is still busy counting the 10000 dead and cannibalized in New Orleans. They don't have time to send body counters to the middle east just yet.

LOL ok. I get it. We're all here on FR running the jokes and passing around the pictures that would make goebbels and dan rather proud, but seriously......

Is it just me or is media being very careful with israeli deaths and overexaggerating lebanese deaths?

I haven't seen one botch job on the other side.

Give them time. They'll be back to their 'old selves' soon.

"That's why their poll reporting is crap."I agree.Reuters is nothing more than a mouthpiece/cheerleader for the leftist/terrorist coalition.No credibility.
