Headline Porn

On July 11 in the midst of a campaign of mass killing in Gaza, the headline in CBC.ca was that a rocket came from across the Lebanon border. It caused no injuries.

Why is this the headline?

In the last four days Israel has killed 90 Palestinians and injured about 600. Palestinian rockets have killed ZERO people, and injured only a couple.

Will we ever see an honest headline from CBC, using the active voice, such as: "Israel has killed 90 people in Gaza, including 22 children, and injured 600", with a possible sub-headline: "Home-made rockets from Gaza have killed not killed one Israeli"?????

If CBC tried to be more honest, it would be harder for our corrupted Harper Government to shame Canadians with its lopsided, immoral support for Israel.
