Is Hezbollah Winning? They are winning the PR war with the help of the media: The liberal Western media have taken to emphasizing and elaborating on Israel's bombings of Hezbollah targets in Lebanon—framing them as an attack on the Lebanese people—while minimizing Hezbollah's continued attacks on Israel. The anti-Israel slant comes through in news report after news report—whether it's in the pictures shown, the individuals interviewed, the questions asked; it's all largely projected through an anti-Israel lens. Hezbollah, of course, would be thrilled at this. But, more than passively letting world media project its cause, Hezbollah has a deliberate strategy of using the Western media to help it in the battle for world opinion. The media, of course, play into its hands perfectly. http://www.thetrumpet.com/index.php?page=article&id=2403
