This morning’s news on TV started with a 30 second story of how Gaza is being bombed to bits and how Israel even managed to blow up the critical food supplies provided by UN, all accompanied by some really horrifying footage. The news reader covered this story in a cold matter-of-fact kind of way which made it sound like the story was more routine for her rather than news.
The Gaza story was immediately followed by what the news reader at one stage referred to as “really terrifying”- a plane in US had to make an emergency landing on the Hudson river. The tone of her voice was now serious and she was evidently moved as commented on “those poor 136 passengers who were forced to stand on the wings in minus 6 degrees waiting for rescue”.
Western media have certainly got their priorities right
