CBS-News Sunday Morning makes clear that CBS is still the best mainstream news-medium.

How often do U.S. mainstream news-media report honestly what Israel — armed by donated U.S. weapons — is doing to Gazans? Never — until July 21st, when “CBS News Sunday Morning” featured this extraordinarily courageous 10-minute news-segment:

Children of Gaza
CBS Sunday Morning, July 21st
——
It documents that Israel’s statements, such as “The IDF [Israel Defense Force] has never, and will never, deliberately target children,” and “The IDF calls and acts for the evacuation of the civilian population from combat zones to safer zones,” are lies (the first because direct targeting of civilian children is shown; the second because many non-U.S. news-media have already documented that when civilians go to what Israel calls ‘safe areas,’ they then get bombed there, too).
This ten-minute documentary is every bit as good as the best, and might even be the very best, of all of the news-reporting that has been done of the ethnic cleansing if not extermination of Gazans, that is going on there, by Israel and America.
Unlike many of the other reports, it even makes clear that, as one interviewed American doctor [Vice President of the International College of Surgeons, who has volunteered in numerous disaster-zones] who recently visited there, said, “I’ve never seen that before, never seen more incinerated children than I’ve seen in my entire life combined. I’ve seen more shredded children in just the first week, shredded — missing body parts, being crushed by their [bombed] building, [that being] the greatest majority, or bomb explosions [directly] the next greatest majority. We’ve taken shrapnel as big as my thumb out of 8-year-olds. And then there’s sniper bullets, I have children that were shot twice. I have two children in Gaza that I have photographs of that were shot so perfectly in the chest I couldn’t put my stethoscope over their heart more accurately, and directly on the side of the head in the same child … shot twice … dead-center shots.” The reporter then said, “In fact, more than 20 doctors recently in Gaza, also told Sunday Morning about gunshot wounds to children. One American doctor told us he even reviewed CT scans to confirm what he saw, because he quote didn’t believe that this many children could be admitted to a single hospital [an American hospital] with gunshot wounds to the head.” Then video footage was shown of such sniper-shootings killing children. However, the vast majority of killings there are by buildings collapsing onto people, and from starvation because of Israel’s blockade against food and medicine into Gaza. CBS showed an incredibly long line-up of aid trucks just waiting to be allowed into Gaza; but whether they will ever be allowed in, is uncertain.
Other than this report, all of the entirely honest news-reports that I have seen of what’s happening in Gaza are from pro-Palestinian news-sites, such as this one.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
