Pallywood Hospital Vid Not Quite Proven a Hoax, But We're Getting There
Confederate Yankee sums up all of the evidence, noting that the Norweigan doctor appearing in the production is a long time pro-Palestinian activist, and the bereaved brother filming the scene owns an internet company that hosts websites for Hamas.
Even more damning is that CNN has disappeared this video down the memory hole without even mentioning it. It is going on 16 or so hours since it was disappeared. They haven't said why. They currently don't even acknowledge there ever was a video at all.
This is a bit like TNR's reaction during the Beauchamp saga: Dead silence, a refusal to acknowledge suspicions or criticisms, as the work furiously to confirm a story they should have confirmed before airing in the first place.
This is definitely not the first time the Palestinians have staged propaganda photos or videos for the I Want to Believe Mudleresque Media.
It is about time they started showing skepticism to videos and pictures supplied to them by Hamas members or supporters at a level somewhere equal to the skepticism they display towards IDF reports.
Thanks to jdub.
