Smith has since been vindicated by many articles. But today when I saw video and photos of the funeral of Imad Mughniyeh in Beirut, I thought to myself: this procession and its sheer numbers prove, once again, those publications lied. A lesser man would’ve sued every one of them for defamation. To this date, not a single one, including liberal and conservative magazine writers and editors that are the darlings of those squawking TV news shows and in some cases, well-placed professors at Ivy League universities, have corrected their erroneous statements. None have apologized to Smith.
You don’t have to take my word for it. You can either watch the evening news where you’ll see video of not-so-peaceful-looking people mourn a terrorist, or you can click the link below and let al Jazeera prove to you Hezbollah is indeed deployed in Lebanon and obviously proud of that fact. Once again shame on mainstream media for fabricating.

Question for readers: Do you think mainstream media has a biased attitude when reporting news from countries many Americans believe harbor terrorists?

I think part of the problem with the bias in the US is that Americans don’t understand what it’s like to grow up in a war zone. When people are constantly being blown up right in front of you, it changes you. When your home, or your shop is destroyed by war, it changes you. When you’re raised with the religious belief that though strict adherence to the tenets of your religion, you can restore your people to power and prosperity, it’s difficult to resist. I don’t think anyone intends to be evil. They’re all doing what they believe to be right. This guy says “terrorist” while that guy says “freedom fighter.” It’s all a matter of perspective.
