Notice Anything?

Read this article then ask yourself if you notice anything.

I noticed that the article stressed, three times, that the 12 people killed in the Hezbollah rocket attack on Kfar Giladi were reserve soldiers. Three times.

Quick, we have to reframe this, say the editors at AP. Distract from the point that Hezbollah was not targeting the reserve soldiers. It was targeting the village. The soldiers just happened to be in the way. Because Hezbollah is blind-launching unguided artillery rockets at civilian villages.

But if they stress it three times, maybe nobody will notice.

    I’m still waiting for “the fighting started when Hezzbollah operatives crossed the Israeli border and kidnapped two soldiers” gets changed to “leaving eight soldiers dead, Hezzbollah operatives kidnapped the remaining soldiers….”
