That's very much how I felt after watching a lot of the coverage this weekend. I watched guest after guest point out how Arafat has always sought out peace and is misunderstood. Those same guests would talk about how Sharon is a militant "right-wing" (always got to work that phrase in somewhere) hardliner where all that he wants is to destroy Arafat and the Palestinian people. The idea that Arafat has always sought out peace is laughable in my opinion, but what's worse is that the interviewer would not counter that or challenge it. However, if a guest was saying that Sharon is doing what he feels he has to do to protect Israeli's then that same interviewer would say "come on, you really think..." and then go on about the recent actions taken by the Israeli military and then finish that with the ever so typical set up "Does that sound like someone who is interested in peace to you?" That's the sentiment that existed throughout all of the news shows I was watching. Foxnews, CNN, MSNBC, CNBC. Other than the graphics on the screen, you would swear it was the same show on each network.
