I just wanted everyone to know that I saw this on the counter of the kitchen at work which means it was available to whoever got there first–three quarters of a Krispy Kreme donut. I passed it up. I almost fainted just from the smell of it, but I passed it up. I am really wondering whether life is worth living anymore if I have to give this kind of thing up.

I received an instant message from Christian yesterday about an article posted on Yahoo News. The headline in big bold letters said:
Israel army kills West Bank Palestinian: Palestinian security
In his instant message Christian said, “Pay special attention to the 3rd paragraph.” The third paragraph says the following:
An army spokesman told AFP that a Palestinian had died after he threw an incendiary device at a jeep and the vehicle overturned on him.
How is that for unbiased reporting? Bury the lead and pump the politically correct version in the headline. That’s the way to do it. About a week and a half ago a great article came out in The Alegmeiner titled Israel’s Supports Must Stop Using These 13 Phrases. Among other things, it explains why it is wrong to refer to Samaria and Judea as the “West Bank” and how the use of the terms “East Jerusalem” or “traditional Arab East Jerusalem” is just wrong, too–“The 19 years between when invading Jordan captured part of the city in 1948 and was ousted by Israel in 1967 was the only time in history, except between 638 and 1099, when Arabs ruled any part of Jerusalem.”
The article is a succinct primer on how much of the media tries to force the narrative a certain politically correct direction when it comes to reporting on Israel.
