What is with the news? (Iran, Palestinian, Israeli, illegal)

[RPON]

They have been running the stories about all the people killed in Syria the kids covered in blood etc for a few hours just today now...I am just curious why do they not give a crap about the kids killed and covered in blood in Palestinian territory? Israel used white phosphorous which is illegal during bombing Palestine yet I don't see an uproar...bit bias?

I guess when its Israel doing the killing its a ok. But when its Syria or Iran its time for all out war....

Crickets...guess no one has a good retort for this.

I'll bite....just a little.....in an attempt to provide some context that you seem to be lacking

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Isreal is defending itself from a hostile neighbor.

Syria is defending itself from.........it's own citizens.

From there it gets into all that founding fathers stuff, and throwing off the yoke of tyranny, etc.

YC.......

So because one is supposedly defending its self from rock throwing peasants and in Syria from terrorists trying to overthrow the government its ok for the news to show concern for those terrorists in Syria being killed but not children murdered by Israeli troops? Makes perfect sense.

Well the news follows the narrative of their viewers now. Glenn Beck plays to his viewers, Fox news to theirs, MSNBC to theirs, no one watches CNN, etc.

So its sales, give them what they want, and you'll get ratings and loyal every day viewers.

Israel acted in self-defence, while in Syria we have a tyrant murdering his own people.

I believe those are bombs, not rocks, being launched into Israel by the Gaza strip. When the cowards in Gaza stop using the children in the PA as human shields then I suspect children will not be killed in Israeli defensive strikes.

Children, both Israeli and Palestinian are being killed. Perhaps it is time for those in the PA launching attacks into Israel to lay down its weapons and try to live in Gaza in peace?

Well before this turns into a free for all I was just curious as to why the news media was so clearly biased. You say israel is completely innocent I say it brought it on its self...time will tell who was correct...because the victors write history.
