It is disgusting. Hardly anything was mentioned in the "free-press" of the democratic Western. In fact the coverage in some cases equals to partner-in-crime.
Here is some examples (click on thumbnail to enlarge. Highlights in blue):
USA media - newspapers:
New York Times: Not a single word!
LA Times: Not a single word!
USA media - online news:
New York Times: Under "More News" a very small line: "Israel Takes Gaza Fight to Next Level in a Day of Strikes"
The Washington Post: Hardly seen one line, "60 Gazans Killed in Incursion By Israeli Forces"
CNN: "Israeli airstrike hits Hamas premier office."
Not mentioning the civilian house, babes, children and civilians killed. Misleading the mass that Israel is attacking Hamas only. Nothing new!
LA Times: Hardly seen five words (marked in blue), "Israel launches offensive info Gaza."
Fox news: "54 killed in attack on Militant."
Doh… they have a discount on the numbers (at the time of their report, more than78 were killed).
At least two dozen Palestinian civilians, including a baby, were among those killed, and militants said 25 fighters died. Health officials said about 200 people were wounded, 14 of them critically.
Although more than 1/3 of the 78 killed were babies and children, Fox says only ONE baby was killed!!!
UK media - online:
BBC website:
Second headline from left (marked in blue): "UN Chief condemns Gaza violence."
Violence ha? No mention of babies, children and civilians killed!!!
UK - Newspapers:
The Daily Telegraph: Nota a single word!
The Guardian: Not a single word!
The Herald: Not a single word!
IHT: very small paragraph on the left side of the frontpage.
Germany - online news:
Spiegel: Hardly seen line at the bottom of the website
Welcome to the blind/deaf world of "human rights" and "freedom of press"!!!
