Milking it... But where's the milk?

Here:

Mr. North makes us a good show of times. However, he doesn't show by the little bit where he picks ups these times. From Yahoo!? Well, it seems as he carries some screenshots from the site.

If so, Mr. North's timestamp remarks are mooth. Times there are clearly publishing timestamps. And worse it has been always like that (I dare to state it as I know this fact from long ago).

But, if this is the real fuss, it makes Mr. North's position even worse, as it shows his bias to find something for his goodtaste and miss the completely the reality. Wanna see? Note that I didn't pick up ALL photos. But I assure you that the sequence becomes more dense...

Paraphrasing one old proverb... It's the media, stupid!
They spread the photos over a timeframe. So that you slowly, but surely, eat the story. They don't want for you to swallow it immediately and go for your affairs. There's publicity on the bottom pal! If given on a bunch you easily get fed up... So the media feeds you slowly... One for the daddy, another for the dog...

And if you feel a slight sense of shock... Don't worry. The media fed you the same way in 9/11, the Colombia's dive, the mega-tsunami and at New-Orleans going under water... That's why I know it that the timestamps are dead stuff... First, they give you a small bunch in a fast but not-so-fast sequence, for the appetite. And then slowly feed you until the story dries down and you would like more to see tits and a... (which they promptly may feed you).

Oh btw... If you wanna have a chance to see something good, real and unbiased, pick always the very first shots right after the event. Everything else, comes up with that touch of art called "Always Coca-Cola"... However, Qana's shots are not this case. The photos came up long after the tragedy itself.
