Every one knows the Agencies (and their employees) would consider the 12 million Jewish audience just as important as the 1.6 billion Islamic audience..<BR/>It's mere coincidence time and time and time again. <BR/><BR/>Heres a recent case were Reuters matched a unrelated photo to a news story. This time in a rather more malovalent way. <A HREF="http://mrbagel.blogspot.com/2007/10/spectra-of-reuters-media-bias-rises.html" REL="nofollow">The Spectra of Reuters Media Bias rises again<BR/>A Picture tells a thousand lies.</A><BR/><BR/>Mr BagelMr Bagelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07983605031622179624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-48654627087260112782007-10-24T16:08:00.000-04:002007-10-24T16:08:00.000-04:00The media is junk news at best and the so-called j...The media is junk news at best and the so-called journalists have no clue about ethics.Chana @ Lemon Lime Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11656854855385193867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-82643618509785263622007-10-24T13:33:00.000-04:002007-10-24T13:33:00.000-04:00A lot of people don't look at any further than the...A lot of people don't look at any further than the headline and photo caption; they're more powerful than most people realize. <BR/><BR/>Depending on the length of the article I probably would have inserted two photos. Olmert at the top of the article, since the plot centered around him and he is a high-profile person and PM of a nation.<BR/><BR/>The second photo would be perhaps a group shot of protesting Palestinians or shots in which "militants" have their faces covered while holding a weapon.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, if an arrest was made and a mug shot available--a split screen image of Olmert and the suspect.<BR/><BR/>But an innocent Palestine boy out on a stroll with his father/brother/uncle while licking an ice cream cone, and an Israeli soldier walking close enough to protect but not so close as to be intrusive??<BR/><BR/>The propgandists at the AP they probably saw it as an Israel with the gun to the back of a little Palestinian child.<BR/><BR/>The AP editorial department probably searched their archives for a stock photo Israelis menacing Palestinians--any Palestinian. Which of course is still terribly out of context with the story.<BR/><BR/>btw, thank G-d Israeli soldiers are protecting the little Arab boy because Hamas nor Fatah certainly aren't. Maybe that's something the AP should think about. Who is really protecting these children?<BR/><BR/>The message the AP wanted to send to its readers is that Israel overacts to any Palestinian threat. 'Why, the terrorists are no more dangerous than a little kid with an ice cream cone. Lighten up!'<BR/><BR/>The AP knew exactly what it was doing with that photo.Keli Atahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089132216830000713noreply@blogger.com
