Thomas Lifson, at American Thinker, raises the question of the complicity of mainstream Western Press with the deliberate murder of their own people by terrorists for propaganda purposes.

Something is very, very wrong with the reporting on Qana, for the moment, the worldwide symbol of Hezbollah’s media offensive. It is already reasonably clear that major media photographers were willingly made into tools of propaganda, accomplices in the hideous desecration of corpses of children. The timing of the building collapse hours after the actual air attack raises very awkward questions. Why were women and children kept inside the building for so long? Were they murdered?

Now, the previously-announced toll of 57 appears to be as phony as the picture of the dust-covered baby with a sparking clean pacifier.

But, as Charles Johnson reports, the wire services responsible for disseminating the staged photos are refusing to admit the obvious.
