"The Media War Against Israel"

Hereis another perceptive column by Melanie Phillips, who begins,

"Early in the recent Lebanon war, the blogosphere revealed the fabrication of images by Reuters, whose reputation is now in shreds among those dwindling numbers in the western mainstream media who still acknowledge there is such a thing as the truth. Since then, the nature and scale of the various frauds perpetrated by the media during that war put those doctored Reuters pictures into the shade. The western media are no longer merely producing questionable professional practices in reporting a war. They are now active participants in it --and on the wrong side of history."

Was this technique of fake photos and biased reporting used during WW2? Maybe by Hitler's Propaganda Minister, Joseph Goebbles, but I can't even imagine our own press stooping to that level.
