Fake stuff

We mentioned yesterday how Little Green Footballs confirmed that a photo that was thought to be fake on the war was in fact real.

However this one is bull

And CNN which put it out there had to pull it. But didn’t acknowledge its falsehood and left the article that went up with it. No Correction.

Confederate Yankee points out significant:

It has also been determined that the videographer who filmed his brother’s “death” is the general manager of a company that hosts web sites for Hamas.

Dr. Gilbert was allowed into Gaza by the Israelis just 2 days ago to provide medical care. He was involved in faking war crimes less than 48 hours later.

Remember this next time you hear a reporter whining about access to Gaza.

You’ve got to be kidding

Did I just hear Pat Buchanan say on Morning Joe that the reason there is no peace is that there is not a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital?

Yup land for Peace has worked REALLY well hasn’t it?

6:41 a.m. Joe asked Pat why the international community never reacts before Israel has to strike? Pat is ducking dodging and weaving.

6:42 a.m. “Would prime minister Buchanan go after Hamas?” I would go in but chase like Pancho Villa. Accuses Israel of operating a penal camp.

6:45 a.m. How does Israel get the UN to intervene before they have to go in? Nobody wants to answer, because it is impossible.

Oklahoma on the line

Am I the only guy that things that Joe the Plumber will make a better reporter than most of the MSN when it comes to the Gaza war?

Morning Joe thought it was a joke as does Israellycool. I don’t think so.

A good reporter, reports on what he actually sees, a regular person also tends to recognize bull when he sees or hears it.

He will also have one big advantage of major news networks. Any retaliation by terrorists for reporting they don’t like would be directed at him, a single target. Major networks and news bureaus have people all over the world. It isn’t hard to target them.
