What do you think this is a picture of?
- The wreckage of an Israeli jet shot down by Hizballah.
- A medium range ground-to-ground missile launcher hidden in a large Hizballah truck — which has just been bombed by an Israeli jet.
According to the editors at US News and World Report and Time Magazine, it’s Option #1.
According to the man who took the photos (Bruno Stevens) and who provided those same editors with a factual caption of the photo he submitted to them — the answer is Option #2.
Who do you believe?
Charles at LGF thinks “we’re not going to believe this one”:
The anti-Israel bias of mainstream media has never been revealed more nakedly; the editors who selected this photograph deliberately changed the caption to convey an anti-Israel message, throwing the truth right out the window to do it.
And even more damning is the photo they chose not to publish, showing a medium range ground-to-ground missile launcher hidden in a civilian truck—on a Lebanese Army base.
Uh…actually, Charles…as often as shit like this happens, it’s quite easy to believe.
Dan at Riehl World View: “Well, what would you expect from a magazine which had both Stalin and Hitler as persons of the year?”
