Tuesday, August 5 2008Media Falls for NGO's 'Halo Effect'Why are an NGO's allegations against Israel accepted by an unquestioning media? See HonestReporting's latest communique: Media Falls for NGO's "Halo Effect"
TrackBackTrackBack URL for this entry: Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Media Falls for NGO's 'Halo Effect': CommentsI want to know why every sanctimonious Amnesty International press release gets unquestioning coverage, while worthwhile statements by NGOs that actually like Israel (including HonestReporting) get scant MSM attention. Thanks Honest Reporting. I am glad that you are keeping up with the biased reports against Israel. Thank you for a job well done. Israel is always the "BAD GUY!" Who else gives their enemy electricity, water, food, medical care, drugs, etc? I'm sure there will be no answer to that question! This is just one of hundreds of reasons why the so-called "media" are losing credibility among thinking, reasonable people in the United States. The loss of their credibility is reflected in the diminishing numbers of people who even give them a second thought. I used to work for a prop0er editor, but now editors allow total fantasy to be reported as fact, especially those editors of "newspapers"--better called "biased opinion reports" like the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times etc. We no longer look for "news" in the press nor the TV--no wonder "newspapers" are going broke! Charlotte Levin send all terrorists back in body bags wraped in pig skin and have them paraded thru gaza to colledt 72 vergins----ts I like this Honest Reporting article on the NGO, but a major point could be discussed. The desire for Palestinians to cross the border into Israel for medical care in the first place probably occurred because of their perception of Israel as humane and a place to get medical care. The media should question why these people looked to Israel for medical care instead of seeking care where they live. The answer is probably that care is more accessible in Israel than in the territories, and that they could receive care in Israel as others have in the past. Why else would they have tried to cross the border? The image of Israel as a place where many can receive medical care is certainly not a part of much of the media's portrayal of the nation-state. when will the BBC, NYtimes, and other world news organization, realized that they waste time in appologizing again and again, instead of getting confirmation of stupid rumors and sending believable information with the right facts ?
