Graphic, Emotional Lebanese Photography Staged?
Qana, a village in southern Lebanon, was bombed on 30 July 2006; and rescue workers were depicted as grieving over dead bodies of children. The issue at hand: are they posed? For the most thorough treatment of this issue, see the “EU Referendum” post, “The Corruption of the Media.” If true, and this is a compelling case, this is a new low in reporting. How low can we go? Is this artistic license or hideous deception?

The media is obviously without a doubt dominated by the west and has been for decades. Which have been masters of manipulation and skewing the news (they invented the art of Spin)…and you are making this statement about Lebanon? Truly taking stupidity to the next level…half the stuff that has gone on in that country you haven’t a clue.
I think your question should be what is it that isn’t being put on the allegorical stage you are so eloquently are referring to.
I have posted a link that might help out a bit.

August 24th, 2006 at 23:15:18Thanks for your opinion, Nic, but keep the ad hominem attacks and flaming to yourself. I was asking a question about this particular series of photos (referenced in the above article) out of sheer curiosity; I readily and happily admit that politics is not my forté.
I can’t even tell what point you’re trying to make. What, the west has manipulated news for decades? Of course; so that means the “east” and the “middle east” haven’t, or what exactly are you saying?
You know, you’re actually right about Lebanon—so why don’t you condescend to teach me, instead of insulting my ignorance? I see that your IP is around Dubai, so I can think of no one better to fill all of us “Westerners” in on this.
