I've seen lots of comments about the mainstream media - and they often do a less than stellar job when it comes to Hamas - but as of tonight (Oct 10, 9pm) I was relieved to see that the New York Times seems to have gotten it right. At least for now. Top headline in bold letters: "Hamas Leaves Trail of Terror in Israel". Left side secondary headline: "Village by Village, Scale of Atrocities Becomes Clear". Right side secondary headline: "It's not war or a battlefield; it's a massacre". I couldn't find any equivocations, excuses or justifications, even in the smaller articles. BCC seems to have it right (for the moment) as well. Main headline on their website reads: "Inside Israeli border village where Hamas killed families in their homes". Again, no instances of excuses or justifications. I hope this sensible approach continues.
