Psy-Op by Hezbollah?

Amid recent reports that various enemies of ours are getting more competent at manipulating the mass media, here is an intriguing story about how Hezbollah is allegedly manipulating the (willing) world media. Personally, the only thing I find surprising about this allegation is that it is being reported on at all. I have long felt that we are pitifully unsophisticated in our dealings with the international press, preferring secrecy to telling our side of a story. In an age when many people's opinions are formed in seconds via soundbites and pictures flashed in between episodes of "The View", we need to get better at presenting the truth, or at least our version of it. We cannot count on even the American press to do it for us.
