What is funny is that despite Israel's exaggerated sense of pride and self-confidence, the quality of its propaganda is not in any way superior to Ba`thist propaganda. "What began six months ago as a brazen attempt to counter a perceived anti-Israel slant in the Dutch media has evolved into a network monitoring the media in eight countries across the world. The idea is simple: Beat press bias at its own game by advertising only bad news about one place." (thanks Yasmine)
