Who of you know that yesterday we had International Day of Television? Really, and it’s pretty serious day, UN-ish. The medium is still the most popular, the most we absorb, on average, holding the front of the screen 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 of four participating in the prayers of the rabbis. Later, information was received that died in the hospital one more victim of this act of terror – a police officer, who during 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 provoked outrage and vigorous action of the Israeli Foreign Ministry. And it went on like a little thing – information bar on CNN. Well, shortly after the attack the American station, a model for the hundreds of news channels around the world, with our TVN 24, Polsat News and the BBC, including, for this alertowy bar dropped following news: “4 Israelis killed 2 Palestinians 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 yet any glitches – can create a completely distorted picture of what really happened 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 do not have to wait long. Israeli diplomatic service demanded rectification, as indeed did CNN eagerly. In its own way it responded to the 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 …”. Probably irritation unconcern CNN was the greater, that shortly after the raid, the same television poured gasoline on the fire another misinformation about the incident.
This time the bar there is information about the “deadly attack on a 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.
