I just heard a Skynews reporter say that Israel is heading back to a "tit for tat cycle of violence."

Traditionally "tit for tat" implies that tit and tat are equal in value. But in this case "tit" is deliberately murdering and maiming innocent men, women and children, and "tat" is hunting down and killing the people responsible.

The simplistic media remain stuck in their own cycle of trite, simplistic and misleading cliches, all to help continue to obscure the seemingly quaint notion of responsibility.

Same thing on NPR, including Thomas Friedman on the Diane Reim show (some yokkel was subbing for her, and perpetuating the meme).

Makes me sick. I was yelling at the radio on my way in to work today. Had to change the station to listen to some calm, soothing Heavy Metal!

Yes, I love how Hamas says the rocket attack means that Isreal has broken the truce.

The dead 5 month olds on the bus didn't do it, the rocket attack did.

Un-friggin-believable.

Bob is 100% right, but the real crime is that the news media is letting them get away with it.

But we need those eloquent, talented, and worldly media types to convert such large and complicated issues into simple three word topics that the rest of us ignorant masses can understand.
