Who of you know that yesterday we had International Day of Television? Really, and it’s pretty serious day, the UN-ish. The medium is still the most popular, the most absorbing us, holding the front of the screen average of well over three hours a day. And calling from time to time the mass of emotions.
Two Palestinian terrorists armed with knives, butcher cleavers and guns burst into one of the synagogues in the western Jerusalem and attacked Jews praying there.
Before they were killed in an exchange of fire with the police, they could murder the four participating in the prayers of the rabbis. Later, information was received that died in the hospital one more victim of an act of terrorism – the police officer that the action was seriously wounded in the head.
The news of the coup quickly found herself in the media, it was administered in various ways, including the one that has provoked outrage and vigorous action of the Israeli Foreign Ministry. And it went on like a little thing – the information bar on CNN. Well, shortly after the US attack station, a model for hundreds of news channels around the world, our TVN 24, Polsat News and TVP Info, inclusive, on this alertowy bar dropped following news: “4 Israelis, 2 Palestinians killed in Jerusalem.”
And the situation we are instructive, because literally speaking, virtually everything is correct: it is true that 4 Israelis that 2 Palestinians that live there, and that in Jerusalem. Just so constructed that information, but does not contain any glitches yet – can create a completely distorted picture of what really happened on that Tuesday morning.
You can interpret it so that here in Jerusalem there was a misfortune, which claimed the lives of four Israelis and two Palestinians. And this is not so – someone in this ghastly history was the executioner, and mow another was a victim, someone was the aggressor, and someone that aggression goal. This basic difference you absolutely can not fade. Not only out of respect for the victims, but also respect for the truth.
The reactions were not long to wait. Israeli diplomatic service demanded rectification, as indeed did CNN eagerly. In its own way it responded to Israeli Internet – high dump memes commenters event.
Such as this: well known to all personnel, showing the flaming September 11 New York Twin Towers, and the bottom bar with the inscription: “8 Saudis killed in a plane crash …”. CNN unconcern probably annoy the greater was that shortly after the raid, the same TV poured gasoline on the fire next misinformation about the incident.
This time the bar there is information about the “deadly attack mosque in Jerusalem …”. On the feast of the television science such: TV – of course in moderation – can be seen. But maybe its better not read.
