Pictures from Kana (Qana) staged?

Questions have surfaced about the sequence of events that transpired in Kafr Kana. EUReferendum, has an interesting analysis of the pictures taken that day and questions whether they were staged or not. IsraeliInsider also has a great analysis on the inaccuracies of the photos and the events that transpired. I leave the final analysis for you. Personally, I am not sure if the photos were staged, given the evidence presented. However, it is a distinct possibility and one that the traditional media should be questioning.

It is undeniable that the terrorists are masters of the propaganda and media war. I have long joked that Israel needs a better press agent to survive. The problem is that the media for some reason, takes everything that the terrorists say as gospel, and reports it as truth. The media needs to do a better job of culling through information before reporting it as facts. It is in this area that the Little Green Footballs, the Michele Malkins and the A Blog For Alls play an important role. By scrutinizing what the media reports, we help to ensure accuracy. The media will learn, soon I hope, that first and wrong is not as good as second and right!!!
