We all remember the president of CNN in 2002 confessing the nightly news from Baghdad was written for CNN by the Iraqis, and how CNN justified this by saying that without them being a willing tool for Iraqi propaganda they could not have stayed in Baghdad. Well, the same thing is happening in Lebanon, where US and western reporters hang around with their pals in Hezbollah, serving up radical Islamic propaganda as unbiased news. Actually, I suppose it is unbiased, in a way, because the western journalists in the Middle East hate the Israelis every bit as much as the Arabs do, so to the journalists, spreading radical Islamic propaganda is in a good cause.
I’m in Beirut to see the wars
Just one of many journo whores
I kiss some ass but that’s my job
To be in front of every mob
That’s lined up when the pants come down
That’s how it’s done in Beirut town
Of course I have to slant the news
That’s how we whores all pay our dues
But look around you, if you will
A Jewish house on every hill
In Gaza children have no food
No wonder there’s an ugly mood
Among the peaceful Arab street
Who see their lives are incomplete
The Hizbullah folk that I know
Are real good guys who want to show
The world that all they want’s a chance
To join the economic dance
And live where ever they may choose
And incidentally kill some Jews
