News? I thought it was letting people now about a fundraiser... not reporting, for example what one side did and not what the other did...Why are they 'right' in doing this? Won't it just get people who want to help a way to do so?
It would violate their editorial commitment to report the news in an even handed way.
Showing pictures of the damage in Gaza and describing the suffering of the Gazans without balancing that picture by showing this same people dancing in the streets and handing out candy to celebrate the news Israeli civilians had been blown up by a suicide bomb packed with nails and rat poison or barrages of Hamas' screaming rockets landing in civilian areas and nearly a million Israelis spending much of their time huddling in bomb shelters would present a one sided picture of the conflict that would be inappropriate for a news organization.
So, why don't they show it all - wouldn't showing MORE be better than showing LESS?
They could show Israeli students shouting death to arabs ( globeandmail.com: Anti-Arab sentiment swells among youth in aftermath of Gaza war ), or anti-war Israeli protesters being arrested - the usual stuff we all saw on TV every night, you know. Balanced.
