A Certain News Network

is reporting on its front page, under a big banner headline, the subhead:

• Several suspected Hezbollah rockets hit the northern Israeli city of Haifa

Umm, suspected? They suspect they are rockets? Or suspect they come from Hezbollah? Why not just call them "alleged rockets," as if these are merely accused of being large, rocket propelled, flying explosives? Aimed at regular people?

The whole thing is belied a bit by the following subhead, which follows immediately below:

• Israel has closed the Haifa port due to Hezbollah rocket attacks, Reuters reports

Shouldn't that be suspected attacks? As if there might be some other country lobbing bombs at Israel? I guess the "Reuters reports" is supposed to cover the alleged combatants as they allegedly try to kill civillians.

I don't expect better from See Enn Enn, but the idea that there might be folks who still think that Israel should sit back and take it still makes me sad. Not that I don't expect it by now, but you'd think that people would accept that as a sovereign nation, Lebanon is responsible for the actions of members of their ruling coalition. And that rockets over an international border are an act of war.

But I guess that's a bit too much to ask, certainly from the keepers of the truth of the brave, honest fourth estate.
