While HaÂ’aretz bills itself as a liberal paper, many of its writers are on the far right and have no problem with an anti-Israel bias. The paper's editors don't stop them either. I'm not surprised to read their little 'commentary' at the end which is a very thinly veiled implication that Israel did it/has been doing it. The event is news. The accusation, no matter how thinly veiled, isn't.
We have a news event. What happened, where, when, and how. Why it happened is an unknown and to imply it was foul play is tabloid speculation at its worst. I've been watching Judith edit news for a job (and helping where I can) and this brings the value of real reporting to the forefront of my thoughts. Yes, I know I'll be accused of defending Israel, being a sock puppet, whatever. I'm not defending anyone as there is nothing to defend against. What I'm doing is commenting on the poor job that their editor did in allowing the article to be written the way it was. I expect more from so-called real newspapers. Now if we go into speculation mode, we have to ask if this was an accident or not. If not an accident, then who was the target? 44 killed might include someone that has nothing to do with Iran or nuclear engineering. We have to ask how it was done as well. Once we have the how and the victim list then we can speculate who did it. And if it is against Iran's nuclear program, is this crude job by the same people who did that extremely subtle virus attack? Speculation dies when confronted by examination and thought. Too bad some news 'reporters' have lost the skill of examining and thinking. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:339303 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
