That montage...
I was quite disappointed in that montage on our ATV news last night, the intro labelled it something in the words of "images of war." (in the Middle East)Before it aired I heard the subs and my editor praising it etc.
It was just a bunch of gut-wrenching scenes of Lebanese deaths mashed with conflicting images of Condi's piano playing and Bush slouched in his chair chatting with Blair - that infamous
"Yo Blair" and "...stop doing this shit..."
Yes a majority of innocent deaths were among the Lebanese populace but Israelis died too; something the montage didn't show at all.
It was quite embarrassing recieving those emails about our biased reporting.
Even worse, on the same night we had a live interview with the Saudi ambassador and he gave out the same one-sided rhetoric against Israel.
The Israeli ambassador wasn't happy at all since he had invited our editor to the embassy a few weeks ago to discuss how to "improve the Israeli image overseas."
Was this a calculated decision? It's hard to believe if it was a complete coincidence.
