Will: I don't think your point is a threadjack at all.
I've said this before, I don't know why anyone is upset to find out that the Hezzbollah are faking news. The only difference between Hezbollah and Israel (or the US for that matter) in the PR war is that Hezbollah's efforts have been pointed out. Make no misake, all war since Gulf War I has had more than a healthy share of media manipulation -- it's essential to a successful war. Essential.
Some are just better at hiding their tracks.
That all said, I think it sucks that any side would do this. Additionally, if you are blaming the media for not covering this you are barking up the wrong tree. They will cover this when it becomes something they can prove (much like they will cover the 9/11 consiracies when it is something they can confidently prove). I woldn't be surprised to find that there are journalists exploring this angle but it's getting shelved until more proof can be found (i.e. the editors and/or publishers are waiting for more information).
