Pallywood Part XXI

The hits keep on coming!

We know the propaganda from Hezbollah won’t stop, but we should reasonably be able to expect that media outlets should be able to check some of this. Maybe they’re too busy working with anonymous sources and sharpening their daggers of political subterfuge.

Here the NYT has a chance to set the record straight on some staged photos but instead issues this lame correction:

A picture caption with an audio slide show on July 27 about an Israeli attack on a building in Tyre, Lebanon, imprecisely described the situation in the picture. The man pictured, who had been seen in previous images appearing to assist with the rescue effort, was injured during that rescue effort, not during the initial attack, and was not killed.

The correct description was this one, which appeared with that picture in the printed edition of The Times: After an Israeli airstrike destroyed a building in Tyre, Lebanon, yesterday, one man helped another who had fallen and was hurt.

In today’s fake-but-accurate newsworld, the NYT believes that ‘fallen’ and ‘hurt’ are the same as ‘playing dead’.
