Even those of us who are trying to keep an open mind and are concerned about the innocent victims on both sides of the conflict still have to base our judgment on what is shown by the media. What we don't know is how much the media news is biased towards one side or the other, and even in the case of impartial reporting, how much access to what is actually going on has been allowed.

We do not know to what extent, if any, media news coverage is being manipulated or controlled to support their side of the conflict.

I am not a conspiracy theorists by any means, otherwise I would be firmly believing that the BBC is part of both a Zionist and and Islamic Fundamentalist conspiracy at one and the same time.
