NEWS AND COMMENTARY
BY DAVID T. WRIGHT

EDITOR'S COMMENT

On December 3, Benjamin Netanyahu was on several of the Sunday "talking-head"
shows, including the one in which George Will participates. On every show on 
which he appeared Netanyahu repeated that screwy proportion business, that 
Israel's losses over the weekend were proportionate, as a ratio to population, 
to America's having lost 2,000.

In his op-ed today, George Will opened with that same asertion. He didn't 
attribute it to Netanyahu or to Sharon. He just stated it.

It's bad enough that the press just repeat what U.S. officials feed them, and 
so become the instruments of propaganda. But that they should become the 
propaganda arm of another government is just despicable.
