David and Goliath and David

You want media bias? I\’ll give you media bias. Here\’s one big city newspaper\’s account of the Israeli incursion into the Jenin refugee camp: \”Jenin camp looks like the scene of a crime. Its concrete rubble and tortured metal evokes another horror half a world away in New York, smaller in scale, but every bit as repellent in its particulars.\”\n\nThat\’s from the London newspaper The Guardian. The Los Angeles Times, in contrast, ran a long, two-page investigation into what happened in Jenin. It reported the evidence of terrorism that led to Israel\’s decision to go in. It documented the precise and risky manner by which the Israeli army chose to carry out its operation. It recounted the fear of the soldiers and refugees, the killing of innocent Palestinians (that\’s part of the story) and it investigated the wildly inflated stories of Palestinian propagandists and found them lacking.\n\n
