It's interesting Alterman would admit to this. The BBC World News, which I can get
on cable here in Chicago, is pretty fair. Today, the spellbinding anchor Mishal Husain was asking
leading questions to the Jerusalem correspondent Orla Guerin about
the new aggression. Guerin was saying that without the Palestinina Authority,
Israel would be even less secure. I could see a partisan of Israel being outraged
over their exchange. The program also showed large protests in Greece and Lebanon, complete with
American flag burning, and said Egypt was outraged.
