21. um....do a little reading of that article

and you'll find that CAMERA cited many various, credible sources. Add the wikipedia article in as well and you'll find that most media outlets' reporting of civilians killed in Lebanon 2006 was way off.

It's telling that you have problems with media watchdogs that are trying to keep the media more honest, accurate, and accountable. The fact is that, in this case, most media outlets were wrong - and were merely spouting off Hezbollah propaganda. What do you expect when journalists within Lebanon or Gaza are forced to tow the line? Remember, there is no freedom of press and dissent in such societies. But if you're an advocate for biased reporting, I can see why you'd prefer PRESSTV, al-Jazeera, al-Manar, etc.

When you find strong evidence of CAMERA spouting off propaganda like the bogus Jenin massacre, the Muhammad al-Dura hoax, this latest 1000 civilians killed in Lebanon, and count on crap WRT the Gaza/Israel conflict, you'll be sure to let me know, right? You do expect some accountability, honesty, and non-bias from your trusted media, do you not?
