Here We Go Again: One Side's Death Focused Upon, The Others Go Unmentioned

On both CNN.com and MSNBC.com right now, you'll see headlines telling you how many Israelis have died from deadly Hezbollah rockets (current death toll there: 15). But we know there are many, many deaths in Lebanon only I can't seem to find either news site discussing those in headlines.

Again, civilian casualties on BOTH sides are tragic; why aren't the two treated as equals. Fifteen Lebanese deaths has never, to date, gotten the emphasis that sometimes as low as three civilian deaths in Israel has drawn. This is the spin of the U.S. media.
