Remember the outrage over the practice of newscasts using video clips provided by businesses and government agencies that look like news reports? Well, the Palestinians have learned to do something similar with shaky video, as did the Lebanese stringers who sold doctored photos to Reuters.
Big Media are airing faked video made by Palestinians to demonstrate their suffering and the cruelty of the Israelis.

Think of how much money and how many lives could be saved if all Middle East violence was phonied up like this! If we could get the Iraqi militias and insurgents to use these techniques, Al Jazeera would be happy and nobody would need to die. They just need to learn how to use squibs and fake blood more effectively, and a bigger special effects budget. But why quibble with what's been working?

"Sixty Minutes" seems as gullible as ever, or is it just complicit in the fraud? Maybe not consciously, but their biases are seen and exploited by the PA PR dept. And they took it at face value. Would they have done that for the Israelis? No, because they're sophisticated and have modern technology. Who would think these "wogs" could be so smart? Or that The Tiffany Network could be so dumb? I guess it's another example of the soft bigotry of low expectations, or a refusal to hold terrorists to the same standard as democratic societies.
