"Green Helmet" puff piece

Richard North at EUReferendum has posted a long, very detailed cooperatively-written article summarizing the long history of deception surrounding the Qana debacle. I'll post an except here, but be sure to hit the link to read the entire article—it's well worth reading!

The Corruption of the Media

It is apt that an organisation that has become a purveyor of lies should respond to that charge by producing yet more lies. And that is precisely what Associated Press have done today, in their faux eulogy of "Green Helmet", picked up by Little Green Footballs, amongst others

The picture produced with the story, itself is a lie. Divested of his trade-mark green helmet, and orange high-visibility waistcoat, Salam Daher, as we now know him, is shown with blue helmet and flack jacket. This, as any observer of the scene will know, is the garb adopted by media personnel in the field (and especially in Lebanon), which makes it highly probable that "Green Helmet" has been loaned the gear for yet another staged shot by an AP photographer.

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.
