Who saw Martin Fletcher's report on Countdown??
Where he was running from the bombs with a group of civilians and then this one woman is frantic and keeps calling her husband and the next thing they show is the phone ringing from the dead body lying in the open area nearby...it was so harrowing...anyone see this?? He's on MSNBC now saying how he was trembling today from all he saw...

2. But a biased segment of the show.
The Martin Fletcher piece was very emotional and graphic.

But still, all-in-all, there was very little damage caused by the rockets in Israel.

On the other hand, I didn't see a similar report on the program showing the many, many people killed in Lebanon today by Israeli missiles and artillery.

The pro-war, pro-Israel bias in the mainstream media is showing up everywhere.

4. I don't see it that way, either.
They had a long segment about the strikes in Lebanon and showed the huge explosions happening in Beirut and cited the number of deaths.
