Interesting, seems that Newsmedia is being questioned full out finally. Here in Sweden during the Riots alot of newsmagazines were later blamed for having used photos that didnīt came from the event that the text described. The person that got shot for instance isnīt in the picture that "illustrates" the event.
I have also heard alot of rumours about the Palestinian celebrating. Though there is some interviews later on that shows that Palestinians are more or less happy about the terrorbombing until they heard how many people that had died. Even the hardcore Palestininan got pale in the face and couldnīt say anything after that...
Media has alot of responsibility when it comes to show us the "truth" problem is that many of them are very interesting in selling their info and papers and so on...
Can be an interesting debate to follow. When I read conflict and peace management, they told us to always distrust newsmediacoverage to same degree. A typical fault is from the russian wa in Grozjny, where the media says that over 400 tanks arrived in one day, there were only 40 tanks, the rest APCīs and other vehicles... That is in millitary views alot of difference!
So donīt take anything for granted yet!
