Disgusted with Lisa Ling

This is something I drafted last year and never got around to finishing it but I think it started off well, leave your comments.



Not only is this a review of a bias "documentary" ( and yes I am using an oxy moron since the real definition of documentary: "A film, TV program, book etc that presents a social, political, scientific or historical subject in a factual or informative manner; Of, related to, or based on documents; That serves to document something; Presented objectively without the insertion of fictional matter en.wiktionary.org/wiki/documentary" ) but this a straight forward expression of disgust. Here is my challenge to you:

1. Read this blog entry.

2. Watch it yourself : http://www.lisaling.com/fembomb

3. Link to your blog and add your comments.

4. Tell her what you think on her blog.



Anyways, so August 3rd after all my house stuff was done and finally realise that there is always some more dishes in the sink and "I'll do them tomorow" I sit in front of the tv while the hob is on the net. Flick, Flick ooo0o0o Something about Islam. And yes I freak out because having cable there is nothing about muslims and nothing halal either (we are working on getting internaitonal channels). So the hobby is like turn it off its still some propaganda. Of course I protest! But hun its Lisa Ling, she's not the usual reporter , don't worry this won't be degrading to Islam.



Now where in the world did I get that idea?!?! Well first off she left The View. Yes in search of something with more meaning she quit that dense job. * Ding Bonus points +100 *

She made an amazing report on how there is a dowry problem in India and how it's leading to lots of death and mistreatment of women. * Ding Bonus points +100). She actually went in a jail to report on gangs and drugs and had to get "permission" from the people in jail that they won't kill her. *Ding Bonus points +100*

Then she made : Female Suicide Bombers: Dying to kill ( forget the point system, I'm disgusted and really disapointed)



Ok look I don't mind you make a "documentary" and then report it biasly. Fine you have your opinions. I don't mind that you sunk to that level at all and I don't mind that you are no longer one woman I look up to.



This is what ticks me:



DO NOT EDIT SOMEONES COMMENTS TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE ITS AN ANSWER TO ANOTHER QUESTION



DO NOT HIRE A STUPID TRANSLATOR WHO IS DISTORTING SOMEONES WORDS.



AstaghfAllah...



The premise of the report is basically to identify why young, intelligent , educated Palastinian women would 1. wan't to be a suicide bomber 2. what made them do it that day etc etc.

I can tell you Lisa, you don't even have to travel that far:

WHEN YOU HAVE NOTHING LEFT, ALL YOU CAN CONTROLE IS YOUR DEATH.... NOT EVEN THE STRONGEST, RICHEST ISRAELI SOLDIER CAN TAKE AWAY THAT FROM THESE POEPLE.

May Allah bless them all and grant them jannah, Ameen.

So she goes interview some family and women who proudly proclaim their willingness to do the same. She interviews The premise of the report is basically to identify why young, intelligent , educated Palastinian women would 1. wan't to be a suicide bomber 2. what made them do it that day etc etc.

Lisa: "why do you think Wafe wanted to explode herself?"

Wafe's mother: " I do not know"





Ok... first.. EVERY PALESTINIAN UNDERSTANDS THE CAUSE. It is so obviosuly edited. The cut from Lisa to the mother underlines this.



28:42



Then she gets an opinion from an author Barbara Victor. So she wrote a book on suicide bombers. This makes her an expert? Basically they are trying to print this image that if a woman's life goes badly (divorce, etc) they are prone to commit suicide.



hrmm.. really great investigation work Lisa.



Here's some facts:


" Some Facts about Suicide in the U.S.A.
Facts Based on Current Statistics


1. Currently there are slightly more than 30,000 suicides annually (83 suicides per day; or 1 suicide every 17 minutes), with 12 of every 100,000 Americans killing themselves.


4. Suicide is the eighth leading cause of death.


5. Males complete suicide at a rate four times that of females.


8. Suicide rates are the highest among the divorced, separated, and widowed and lowest among the married.


12. Suicide ranks third as a cause of death among young (15-24) Americans behind accidents and
homicide.


13. White suicide rates are approximately twice those of non-whites.

15. Blacks and Hispanics, when ranked among worldwide statistics and reporting, exhibit lower risk of
suicides.



Facts Based on Research Findings

· Females have generally been found to make 3 to 4 times as many attempts as males.

· Feelings of hopelessness (e.g., there is no solution to my problem) are found to be more predictive of suicide risk than a diagnoses of depression per se.
