Can you say Dan Rather, or Al Dura, or AP??? They all faked stories, lied on the air in publishing fake photos... Which is worse, bad journalism or a journalist and/or major media who deliberately lie??? Then of the MSM Status Quo REFUSED to to chant "France 2 lies, people died" because to do so would have exposed back in 2004 MSM ugly secret -- they openly practice bad journalism...
And Bad Journalism in a democracy in very dangerous... Especially when practiced by by the institutional MSM... http://politicscentral.com/2006/10/19/al_dura_the_verdict.php http://hotair.com/archives/2008/05/22/french-court-rejects-al-dura-hoax/ http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/karsenty-strikes-blow-for-freedom-in-al-dura-case-video/ >>> The French court of appeals, presided over by the redoubtable Madame >>> Laurence Trébucq, has reversed the decision of a lower court -- the >>> (in)famous "Chambre 17″ that specializes in verbal crimes had found >>> Philippe Karsenty guilty of defaming France2 after Karsenty, in a 2004 >>> article, claimed (as have many familiar with the dossier), that the scene >>> was staged. The unexpected reversal by the court of appeals represents the >>> first major European breach of the blanket of silence that has greeted any >>> effort of critics to call into question France2's presentation of the Al >>> Dura footage as actual news. The Muhammad al Durah affair represents one of the most revealing and distressing cases in the mainstream media's coverage of the Arab- Israeli conflict. In the asymmetrical warfare of global Jihad against the West, the "weak" side treats the media of the "strong" side as a theater of war, and no single case shows the Western journalism's vulnerability to this kind of manipulation better than the Al Durah affair. Nothing illustrates the dysfunctions of our media more than their pervasive refusal to reconsider this case, despite the amount of damage it has produced. Nothing endangers Western democracies more than mis- information, and news broadcasts, products of a free and honest media, are the eyes and ears of the civil polity. No creature, no matter how powerful, can survive if its senses betray it, especially in a war zone.
