The Second Draft site is devoted to dissecting media reports about the Middle East and determining what, if any, falsehoods (CNN, referring to their own work, called it "factual errors, errors in omission, and inadequate context") are being touted as reality.
Given that the whole "Death of Mohammed al Durah" scandal was used as justification for the killing of Daniel Pearl, it's important that the MSM has their feet held to the fire over their inability to distinguish between news and propaganda.
In addition, in an only in France situation, the French television channel France-2 is suing the media critic site Honest Reporting for alleging it knowingly broadcast the possibly-staged and certainly misrepresented al Durah footage (previously rejected by CNN), shot by a Palestinian 'photojournalist', Talal Abu Rahma.
Honest Reporting also has posts on many of the other fauxtography perpetrated by the Pallywood propaganda machine, including this nice little video of past media errors...
