The pictures of the plane crash are from the MSNBC website
Yesterday when I heard about the plane crash in the Hudson River, I was alarmed and I did watch the news. Thank God everyone was safe because of the extraordinary expertise of the pilot. The pilot did some skilled manoeuvring to steer the plane and save lives by not crashing into a populated area of Manhattan.
However, I do wish to point out the imbalance of coverage. CNN, MSNBC, Faux News, CTV and CBC were broadcasting almost exclusively about the plane crash – on and on and on. Even after the Bushy Farewell Speech of self-glorification (and self-delusion), NBC (not as quickly on MSNBC) gave a few seconds of debate and then back to the plane crash.
My God, are we that oblivious in Canada and the US? The Israeli Defence Force (IDF) is slaughtering men, women and children in Gaza day after day after day, and hardly any mention on all these networks. I really truly shudder with this kind of inhumanity being shown. Israel has turned Gaza into one major graveyard, a big mass murder in a short time. I have no doubt now that the IDF is committing war crimes and that current Canadian and American governments, by not saying anything against it, are actually aiding and abetting this crime. Even our "Liberal" Leader Michael Ignatieff is throwing full support behind these criminal actions. Is it not being an accessory to the crime to openly give consent and support like that?
