Wire services willingly play the dhimmi -- again -- and help the jihadists make their case. "Hamas Does PR," by Brian C. Ledbetter at Snapped Shot, November 17:
Why bother hiring your own PR firm, which would mean having to spend your easy-earned dollars, when you can just use the largest "news" agencies in the world as your advertising firm, free of charge?The Associated Press doesn't seem to mind being used in the least.
Agence France-Presse seems to surrender to their every whim.
But Reuters, of all, seems to be the most adept at meeting today's terrorist group's needs, serving up photos that are worthy of gracing any terrorist's den.
Notice that not a single one of those photographs is original. In other words, the agency photographers are doing nothing more than taking the pictures that the terrorists are ordering them to take.

That link, if clicked on, will provide a useful summary of the scandalous record of Western journalists in passing on "Palestinian" propaganda and repeatedly slandering the long-suffering Israelis as they try to defend themselves against a Jihad being waged against them, a war without end. One doubts that any other victim of such a Jihad, and such endlessly inventive viciousness, could possibly behave as decently as the Israelis have so remarkably managed to do.

Hey, I consider it something of a breach of journalistic ethics if the local weekly paper runs unedited press releases from the amusement park out on I-5, or the new buffet at the uptown mall, as news.
But to uncritically run material provided--or staged--by *terrorist organizations* not only compromises the most elementary integrity of news services, but it actually represents a betrayal of the civilized world--everything that is threatened by these terrorist groups--whether that is the intent of the news agencies, or just an example of beyond-lazy reporting.

Ah, yes; the Jenin corpse who climbs back on his bier - twice.
How can one ever forget?
(But first one needs to have seen the footage. Pallywood should be inserted into Sunday papers across the nation, just as Obsession was.)
