Gunmen loyal to the Lebanese government and Hezbollah are trading gunfire and grenades in Beirut. AP notes that some rock thrower has apparently drawn first blood with Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV:
A cameraman for Hezbollah’s Al-Manar television station was hit by a stone in the forehead, the state-run National News Agency reported.
No sympathy for the cameraman from me; Al-Manar produces propaganda, not journalism, a distinction the Washington Timesmade crystal clear. I wonder if the Foreign Press Association will go out on a limb for Al-Manar again.
