We’re struck by the MSM’s choice of Mideast coverage this Labor Day weekend. See what got into the news and what was left out:
In: The NY Times examines how the Palestinians scavenge Israeli garbage.
Out: Qassam rocket strikes Sderot nursery school. AP was the only Western news service we saw pick up on today’s outrage.
In: The LA Times‘s take on Israeli porn for peace. And this was a staff-editorial.
Out: The Sunday Times of London took a rare, in-depth look at what Sderot residents are going through, with every street a ground-zero.
In: A BBC photo essay on the Lebanese army’s victory in Nahr al-Bared. Imagine the photo selection if Israeli soldiers emptied out a Palestinian refugee camp?
Out: Britain’s ambassador to Israel had a friendly meeting with settler leaders, a first of its kind. According to the Jerusalem Post, follow-up meetings are in the works.
