siftbotsays...Moving this video to bcglorf's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
bcglorfsays...*beg
siftbotsays...Sending this video to Beggar's Canyon to plea for a little attention - beg requested by original submitter bcglorf.
chingalerasays...Well Hamas wouldn't be Hamas without training up youngsters in the path now, would it??
This report is no extreme example of propagandizing or slant any more than it can be construed as objective observer-and-report journalism-I don;t know why everyone makes such a big fuss about how wonderful Al Jazeera is, breath-of-fresh-air, blah-blah-blah (folks have in the past, anyhow), it's owned by the Al Thani family's (of Qatar, an "absolute and hereditary emirate) 7th richest member.
It's a private mouthpiece for someone's unilateral masturbatory romp, and they hire some real cute anchors!
aimpointsays...Do you have any alternatives for news sources that aren't CNN?

chingalerasays...Not really aimpoint-A news source is nothing but a mouthpiece for agenda, anyhow. If the Al Thanni empire had not created AJ there would ONLY be the major mouthpieces playing for ratings.
Any real power resides in the propaganda created to convince the masses that following you instead of killing you is the best idea going....
Broadcast media has been shit for decades, I reckon the institution as a late-stage terminal suffering aggressive bone cancer. Maybe I'm not the best peep to discuss media with-
bcglorfsays...I've no burning desire to defend major news channels. I do care about what is happening in our world though, and Al Jazeera fills a niche that is missed by many domestic outlets. You can expect CNN to sensationalize a story like this, you can expect Fox or even MSNBC to wholly or partially fabricate this story. And sure, Al Jazeera has as much of an agenda as the others, but it it an agenda with a very much pro-sunni, pro-arab leaning, as one would expect from Saudi funded organization. When a pro-sunni, pro-arab network runs a story like this, showing something as saddening as this being done by a sunni-arab organization it has weight.
The only purpose in pointing out this is from Al Jazeera was to declare that with out question, this story is really happening and accurately represents a real ongoing tragedy.
