HonestReporting.com is an Israeli or Jewish American (it's not wholly clear
which) spin doctoring organization. They see it as their mission to correct
the misrepresations and vast distortions that the independent news
organizations (BBC, NBC, CNN, etc.) write about the Israeli/Palestinian
conflict from the Israeli viewpoint. Honest Reporting is a subsidiary of
Media Watch International, which was started at the initiative of The
Jerusalem Fund of Aish HaTorah. See:

In fact, they may be the original source of the term "homicide bomber." They
were certainly actively involved in the attempt to get the American news
organizations to stop using the phrase "cycle of violence."

As Stan says, it's not all that important, other than to know when you are
being manipulated or lied to, just as it was in last summer's energy market
manipulations, where Reliant, Dynegy, Halliburton, Williams and Enron were
engaged in massive stock value frauds and market gaming, companies who all
massively contributed not only money to the Texas Republican Party but who
have also supplied a fair number of the current administration's officials.

All of these companies, btw, are now at risk, and perhaps one or more of them
will fail in the next little bit. All are being investigated by the SEC and
all are in the process of selling off their most valuable working assets in
their attempts to stave off bankruptcy, a process which will leave them not
much more than shells.

If someone is going at you with great bombast or is appealing to your
patriotism or your greed, you can almost always be sure that they're
desperately trying to sell you a bill of goods.
