Selective Editing

I have long harped about how the MSM slants stories against Israel by the way it words articles. The latest example comes from my hometown newspaper, the Montreal Gazette, which reported on President Bush's visit to Israel. In discussing the visit, the paper picked up an article from its parent company, CanWest. To its considerable credit, CanWest has never shied away from calling terrorists what they are, and the article picked up by the Montreal Gazette was no different.......................except in the Gazette, where the word "terrorist" was neatly excised from the story, which also discussing Palestinian TERRORISM against Israel: http://blog.honestreporting.ca/my_weblog/2008/01/montreal-gazett.html#more. The story was picked up by newspapers all across Canada, but the Gazette was alone in dropping the word, ostensibly to save space.

Nah................no bias there.
