show me a paper from a reputable newspaper calling them heros and I'll disagree with it as well.

Palestinian children learn at a young age about the struggle for freedom. To some, the Palestinian martyrs are heroes. Here a child poses for a photograph at a rally organised by militants.

Revision
To some, the Palestinian bombers are heroes. Here a child poses for a picture wearing a fake suicide bomb belt at a rally organised by militants.

A blog? You offer a blog as proof?

How do I know that this is not your blog?

:D


NOTE: I can't actually see it. I'm guessing on the contents. Something about my firewall here at work restricting it.

I'm also jerking your chain. I've no doubt that it was changed.

So, I guess someone at the BBC probably realized it was not an objective statement to begin with.

So you were not the only one complaining about the title. Seems the BBC must have been swamped in complaints, thereby validating your complaint as well as the thread itself.:aok

That wasn't the issue Sandman. The issue was that Gun was pointing out a biased statement and it turns out that he was probably right about it.

Actually... it only seems to prove that some unknown number of people probably shared Gunslingers' opinion. ;)

The people that did not take issue with the caption probably didn't write in to not complain about it.
