The fact remains that Israel DID bomb the shit out of Lebanon and has killed over 1000 innocent Lebanese civilians in an attempt to defeat Hizbollah.
All caused by Hezbollah. Your error is now corrected.

wowo your paranoia is amazing, do you even watch normal tv or some made up fantasy news broadcast full of demonized darwinists?
maybe if you watched faux news, it would better for you
as for this point, the media is mostly unbias about science and the bible, i've read equal numbers of news articals about new bible finds and science finds both wrong and right
so no the media doesn't accept it without question since surprise ray they don't dictate what you are suppost to believe!
what are you some kind of mindless zombie?

What error? I said nothing about the cause if the conflict. I merely said that it is a fact that Israel has killed around 1000 innocent civilians. Do you dispute this?
Did those civilians somehow deserve to be killed because Hizbollah resides in their country?
If Hizbollah's killing of around 100 Israeli civilians with missiles is unacceptable, why do you seem to consider the deaths of 1000 Lebanese civilians acceptable?
Talk about totally missing the point.

Drop the Dead Donkey
This is hardly a new phenomenon, the 1990s comedy 'Drop the Dead Donkey" wonderfully satirized this side of the media with their character 'Damien Day'. Still, we see it all over the place. I remember during Katrina seeing an American reporter in a canoe in a flooded area, during the report somebody simply walks past them in the three inches of water. Likewise, dozens of reporters were getting blown all over the place as passerbys simply walked around without problem.
So yes, this confirms what we already knew: the media tries to sensationalize its reports in an effort to sell papers/advertising space what have you. Freelance photographers might manufacture images so that news agencies will buy the photographs.

What magical barrier exists that stops the same Media from misinforming us about evolutionary claims ?
How can we trust a boy that cries wolf ?
The underlying point is that the Media is made up of persons who are Darwinists (liars). Look what John Dewey (a Darwinist) hath wrought !

There's no magical barrier because there's no misinformation about evolutionary claims in the media.
Evolution is the most authenticated fact in the history of the world, supported by the fact that your wonderful descimating essay has yet to materialise.

Will you read it when it does materialize ?
This is going to happen very soon.
The Bible plays a major role in my refutation, are you qualified to render an opinion about the Biblical content ?

I hope so, I have spent enough on course fees over the years!
I didn't realise that they Bible was a science book, but we will wait and see what you come up with.

Are you (and your Bible) qualified to render an opinion about science?

I want to use your quote to say that I know Brian is a professional educator, who has at least the equivalent of a Masters degree in ancient studies. When I asked if he was "qualified" I was joking, and I am glad he took it this way. Since EvC has me separated from the general population Brian and I cannot debate the Bible.

Sure, I`ve been reading fictional narrative all my life. Btw, you going to mention the Pyramids? Moses didn`t.

Where did we sneak 'misinform' into all this? I was talking about sensationalizing. But here is a clue for you, never trust the media to teach you degree level science - just let it inspire you to look in the right direction. You can't learn in 45 minutes everything you can know about epigenitics, so don't let a TV program be your education.
The underlying point is that the Media is made up of persons who are Darwinists (liars).
That was your point? I thought your point was that the Media is filled with jew haters - perhaps you should have been clearer in your four word OP.
