Apparently it wasnt a massacre,
but a glorious victory of the palestinian resistance

Jenin 'massacre' reduced to death toll of 56

JENIN, West Bank
Palestinian officials yesterday put the death toll at 56 in the two-week Israeli assault on Jenin, dropping claims of a massacre of 500 that had sparked demands for a U.N. investigation.

The official Palestinian body count, which is not disproportionate to the 33 Israeli soldiers killed in the incursion, was disclosed by Kadoura Mousa Kadoura, the director of Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement for the northern West Bank, after a team of four Palestinian-appointed investigators reported to him in his Jenin office.

[Two weeks ago, when European and particularly London newspapers were reporting estimates of "hundreds" massacred, Israeli sources in Washington said they expected the Palestinian toll to reach "45 to 55."]

Actually, there is overwhelming evidence that the media IS leftist. Here's one school of thought:

Journalism graduates are educated in journalism and all that communications stuff. They don't have a powerful grasp of the hard sciences, of economics, of history, of literature, etc. And they tend to be do-gooders, so to speak. "Make the world a better place" kind of people, nothing wrong with that. The problem comes in when they report on issues they have no grasp of. They might well know what the current events ARE, but they don't understand the context or the history or the inter-relationships therein. And so when an environmental group throws out some statistic or other like "We're killing off 100,000 species a day in the rain forerst" or some such tripe, they give equal time and/or actual credence to it. Same with domestic economic issues. The news stories push an agenda, usually, "Government must act to ensure that [X]...." That's already a liberal bias ingrained into the format.

Further, did you know that over 80% of the media admit to being registered Democrats or voting Democrat regularly?

The is absolutely a liberal bias in the mainstream media -- even some media liberals like Goldberg have confessed to such.

How anyone would even try to dispute this is beyond me.
