All sides promote propaganda. Photoshopped pictures are important to Rush Limbaugh types - because fakes and frauds are promoted everyday even on your TV.

An interesting sidebar and not relevant to what and why Lebanon (ie Beirut Airport) was attacked by Israel.
Apparently while using four letter words, you ignored replies. Use of four letter words suggests you were being foolishly emotional during that reply. The four letter word provides no useful content other than to say you are angry – a totally useless and emotional response common to those who cannot defend their opinion.

Photoshopped and fake pictures are only propaganda - nothing more. Propaganda is not for one minute relevant to the big picture.

Of course, we also treasure staged photographs. That picture of Marines raising a flag over Iwo Jima was staged. No photograph exists when the real event happened one day earlier. Why is that 'fraud' not important? Because the fraud - a faked photo - is totally irrelevant to what happened on Iwo Jima. The fraud represents the big picture.

Worry about such trivia (fraudulent pictures) only to avoid the big picture. Hyping nonsense about a staged picture is a Rush Limbaugh technique to spin away from embarrassing reality – the big picture.

The big picture: Israel attacked all of Lebanon for mysterious and confused reasons. Israeli leadership was so confused and indecisive that Olmert's government may fall.

Yes, I ignored the part of the post where you agreed that the news media should not be believed as the absolute truth. Why would I?

I only responded to your accusations of positions I'd never expressed.

Are you aware calling people "childish" and "emotional", had labeled you as a bullshit artist, trying to discredit anyone that disagrees, Mr Limbaugh?
