Great interview where Ali Abunimah of Electronic Intifada tells it how it is, calls out the BBC in their biased reporting. Brilliant watch. More anchors need to be called out like this.

On the issue of media bias and reporters somethings doing more than they are told,  an NBC news report in Gaza who broke the story of Israeli's deliberately killing children on the beach on Wednesday 16 July 2014 has been re-assigned due to security reasons" to outside Gaza and another reporter with no grasp of arabic sent in instead.

Finally, from CNN reported yesterday on Israelis cheering the bombing of Gaza and in a tweet called those from that group that threatened her scum. News today is that she has been re-assigned to Moscow.

While the video in the original blog is good for morale, the video in the first comment is a must watch.
