[Grovenet] Fwd: Oh NO, not Flat Fatima!

Tue Aug 15 18:04:07 PDT 2006

I want journalism that is accurate and presented
with integrity to be sure. This sensationalized
expo-see that you shared reeks of spin and
agenda. I do not mean to forgive or overlook the
staged aspects revealed in this "story". But your
reporters are using this "story" for another
purpose - to slander the mainstream media and
bring into question the true story that this war
has consequences for many innocent people. Do the
stuffed animals change the reality that Lebanon
and northern Israel have suffered devastation?
Could the jet have crashed into a field of old
tires? Is the message of each of those stories a
significant departure from reality? I would offer
that the conclusion of your story **is** a
significant departure from reality if you look at
the message: they are placing blame on Israel.
The props help convey the truth: war destroys
peoples lives.
