Wire services cranked out some photos of Gaza sites hit by Israeli air strikes after an Israeli packing plant in Shaar HaNegev was badly damaged by a Qassam rocket.
The AP, Reuters and Getty stringers who took photos 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are giving the air strike more spin than Mariano Rivera's cutter because they're also getting double-use from the images: In addition to the air strike, the photographers convey an ongoing concrete rubble story too.
Most blatant of all was this from Reuters.

Don't hold your breath waiting for the wires to get some shots of the damaged Israeli plant. YNet News already did; the images are neither dramatic, nor fit the wire services' pre-conceived view of the Mideast conflict.
