MSM Reporter says "Don't believe all you see"

NBC- affilated Ike Seamans has a few words concerning what the media give us as balanced, unbiased news of the war in which Israel now battles full-force. In Slanting The News In A War Zone, he points out that our media seem to lack the capability of giving the whole story:

In the case of Beirut and other parts of Lebanon under the control of terrorists, Hezbollah usually runs daily press tours, making sure reporters and photographers see the worse that Israel has inflicted -- killing civilians, etc. -- in order to slate the coverage, but never reveals that Hezbollah uses private homes, mosques, schools, hospitals and other public buildings for their headquarters or to launch their lethal missiles.

To begin with, as he points out, Hizballah knows who all the journalists are (has their passports), and where they are, and have made overt threats against at least one of them, regarding restricted coverage (as in, "Don't shoot pictures of our Katyushas being launched or we'll shoot you. Seriously.") This does tend to put a damper on one's enthusiasm for exposing the truth... while you're standing there without the USMC surrounding you.
Seamans goes on:

"Hezbollah has a very sophisticated and slick media operation in suburban Beirut," says CNN’s Nic Robertson, one of the few seasoned TV reporters out there. "They deny journalists access." He adds that the terrorist group, "designated the places that we went to and we certainly didn't have time to go into houses or lift up the rubble to see what is underneath. They realize this is a good way for them to get their message out." So what you see back home is precisely what Hezbollah dictates.

His conclusion:

Reporting has been so inconsistent, if you really want to know what is going on, check out all the networks -- broadcast and cable -- as well as print sources and the Internet. Otherwise, you will never know if you are getting the straight scoop on the confusing Israeli-Hezbolla imbroglio.

Now, in light of the "Reutergate" Fauxtography scandal, it would seem that the MSM are going to continue to face some very serious credibility issues (as if they hadn't already).
HT: the Anchoress and others.

Update: lgf's Charles Johnson seems to think there may be more of the same photoshopping going on in another picture, and holds up the evidence before a jury of lizardoids. After carefully studying the pictures, I think I'm in agreement with commenter erik144, at comment post #164 when he says he thinks there's a logical, non-insidious reason for the subject appearing the way he does. It's funny-looking, but then, so am I.
