Are you not in the states ??? Well ... the TV coverage here would have been a treat for you ... if you were a beginner student in what journalists should avoid when trying not to appear overly biased. I was particularly impressed at how one day when the Beirut bombing was in its full fever, how our wonderful press kept its balanced perspective by keeping up a picture of a Toyota with a broken windshield that had fallen victim to Hezzbollah rockets. That picture dominated the TV coverage for most of the day ... "Israel Under Attack" to the soundtrack of "miltary analysts and talking heads... TV here in the states is a lot like reading a book, books being better than film because they leave so much unshown and open to the imagination.
