[mukto-mona] Every life is worthnews coverage

Every life is worthnews coverage

[From a reader of daily METRO, NY/USA; 03.06.2008]

 

Your coverage (if you can even call it that) of Israel's bombing campaign in Gaza is despicable. Over 100 Palestinians have been killed since Wednesday, most of whom were innocents, and you only put a small blurb about it at the bottom of the seventh page at the crease? Why is it that you value an Israeli life far beyond that of a Palestin -ian? You immediately report when an Israeli is killed, but then if innocent Palestinians are slain by the Israeli military, your coverage turns into a murmur that only picks up when another Israeli is killed. As an agency charged with reporting events, why don't you try and take the perspective that loss of human life, no matter who it is, deserves fair coverage, and not play politics by only reporting the side of the story you think your audience cares about.
