Zec 12:6 In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.

Welcome to newcomers.

I first became aware of the blogosphere, and started to read, during the first great expose of media fraud in which Charles' was a lead playeer- Rathergate. Since then, I have found it an extremely valuable tool for researching current events.

The advantage of the blogosophere is that it enables the quick and cheap dissemination of both the wisdom of crowds and of specialists. If permits people to read, as well as see images, and if you take the time, you can follow an issue through dozens of articles linking to each other, some of then by exceptionally informed or perspective observers.

One disadvantage of blogs is that some people may use it to soak only in their own ideological bathwater - merely read what they want to see and give each other ideological high fives, rather than always trying to find where the real truth lies. LGF does not have a lot of trolls - persons outside the philosophical consensus - and that contributes to the coherence of discussion. Sometimes facile or extremist views are not adequately challenged, by the overall balance of insight and expertise in the aggregated posts is impressive.

Another disadvantage is market fragmentation.
A blog with a great insight may have little influence on its own, because there are so many out there. Even mainstream media, with only four or five major newstations, have something of this problem. Blog stories have an impact when there is a chain reaction - the merit or interest of the story lead it to be picked up by numerous other blogs. Unless, however, the story breaks into mainstream media (MSM) its influence is still limited.

The MSM will for the foreseeable future have advantages the blogosphere does not. Foreign Ministers usually appear on them, even if (ro because?) the interviewer is as ill informed, lazy and sycophantic as Larry King. Also, they tend to have larger and more dispersed audiences.

Rathergate did break into the mainstream. The real scandal was not merely the original reliance on the forged document, but CBS' stubborn and prologned delay in acknowledging effor.

A real test for the conscience and credibility of the mainstream media now is whether they give major coverage to the repeated media hoaxes of jihad forces - with Qana now added to Jennin. There was a sad loss of innocent lifein Qana, but the exxageration and sensationalization of it by Jihadists and then the mainstream media has had a terrible impact on the conduct of this war. There are now dead civilians and soliders on the Israeli side because the public relations disaster that was Qana forced Israel to proceed more slowly and to use more ground forces. This has not necessarily spared innocent civilians in Lebanon suffering either - it may have prolonged it.

There is a simple story here that is not getting out. Hezbollah is a facist and genocidal force that aims to kill as many Jews as possible. All of its attacks are aimed at civilians, and intended to kill as many Jews among Israeli citizens as possible.
Israel is a democracy never targets civilians and does its best to limit collateral injury and loss of life.

Lest anyone think I use the word "genocidal" loosely, here is a story I found through blospheric research, by Michael Rubin at National Review online:

"On October 22, 2002, Hassan Nasrallah told Lebanon’s Daily Star, “If they [the Jews] all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them world wide.”

Or recall that Hezbollah apologized for killing Arabs, rather than Jews, in one of his missile attacks.

Yes, it is 1938 again, and I say that with genuine fear and horror. Instead of identifying Hezbollah and Iran as the openly genocidal and evil forces they are, an ignorance and frequently anti-American, Anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic media keeps pounding on a small and decent society fighting for survival. Maybe this latest media fraud will open the eyes of some people of conscience.

Thanks for your brave and intelligent effort on this issue, Charles.
