What Media Bias? Part VII

When a Picture Just Isn’t Enough

Palestinians for Peace When is a picture not worth a thousand words?

When you need the caption to fully appreciate what “biased” and “uncredible” news reporting really looks like.

Here’s the caption that al-Reuters used with this image:

Palestinians attend a demonstration against violence in Gaza April 23, 2007. REUTERS/Ibraheem Abu Mustafa (GAZA)

Emphasis mine.

h/t to Wahrheit at Illumination, Inc (whose 1 Year Blogiversary is today), who titles their post: Dept. of Cognitive Dissonance.

Indeed.
