Ambulance Strike Hoax

Was the July 23 incident in which Israeli missiles reportedly struck two Lebanese Red Cross ambulances just another "war crime" media event staged by Hezbollah? It sure looks that way to me. Decide for yourself. (via PJM)

Charles Johnson is carrying a Fauxtography Scandal Update at the top of his site, and he links to a YouTube video by Jawa Report that celebrates just a bit the role of bloggers in exposing the widespread deception of and by the media in the war in Lebanon.

UPDATE 8/24: Allah at Hot Air has a post on MSM "blowback" on the whole fauxtography phenomenon.

Michelle Malkin is all over the story with lots of links and background. She is also challenging the major news organizations that reported the ambulance attack story to respond to the new evidence, and provides contact info for others to do the same. Bravo.

UPDATE 8/24: I originally posted this entry with a question mark at the end of the title. I have now decided to remove it.
