Reuters Hijacks Lebanese Foreign Policy

Walid Phares notes that the esteemed international leftist propaganda arm of Hezbollah, which publishes under the rubric ofReuters, has declared that Lebanon has rejected the UN Security Council esolution. Phares knocks this female Hezbo-groupie's coverage with quotes from credible Lebanese sources:
Commenting from Beirut, Human Rights activist and Cedars Revolution Human Rights officer Kamal Batal said the "Reuters framing of Lebanon's answer to the UN is a hijacking of the opinions of millions of Lebanese. The popular majority in Lebanon wants to end the War now and the disbanding of all militias," he said. Analyzing Reuters' release closely George Chaya, Director for the Lebanese Information Office for Latin America in Buenos Aires said "it is not really a coincidence that Lin Nouaihid twisted realities and induced millions of readers around the world into error in perception. From a thorough review of Nouaihid's previous campaigns through Reuters and other media, you can easily see her framings in the Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, Koran affairs in addition to her postings on radical web sites. Nouaihid has all the freedom to express her ideological positions but Reuters credibility as a fair and professional news agency are now damaged."

Reuters' coverage rivals AP for the ridiculous Hezbollah anti-Israeli tilt/spin that produces doctored photos, staged events, and spurious government statements.

This isn't journalism, it's propaganda.
