Another suicide bombing, more biased coverage…

CNN’s homepage top headline of the day: “10 killed in Jerusalem terror attack.” A tragedy indeed, but why were the nine Palestinians who were shot by the Israelis the other day not the top headline?
This sort of biased coverage is precisely why Americans think that Israel is in fact defending itself, when the reality is that every suicide bombing is in direct response to an Israeli provocation. Every time, without failure.
Gee, I wonder why Europeans rank Israel as the #1 threat to world peace? Maybe because their media coverage is a bit more balanced? Just a bit?
