Mainstream media propagate Hizballah propaganda


Not content with their own vile propaganda arm, Al-Manar, Hizballah have successfully infiltrated the western media. Journalists are given guided tours of Beirut and other cities by Hizballah personnel and only allowed to see certain things, photograph certain areas and write particular stories. Which they do most obligingly. What the world then gets is nothing more than a manipulated, staged and false impression of the war.

This was proved by a singular CNN reporter, Anderson Cooper who reported on his experience in Beirut with his Hizballah minders. He said

“We'd come to get a look at the damage and had hoped to talk with a Hezbollah representative. Instead, we found ourselves with other foreign reporters taken on a guided tour by Hezbollah. Young men on motor scooters followed our every movement. They only allowed us to videotape certain streets, certain buildings. Once, when they thought we'd videotaped them, they asked us to erase the tape. These men are called al-Shabab, Hezbollah volunteers who are the organization's eyes and ears.”
