	CAMERA: AP Adopts False Hezbollah Claims
		To be objective, the AP should have made clear that the statement about Hezbollah using Katyusha rockets against Israel as a response to Israeli aggression on civilians was simply a Hezbollah claim.
		To be accurate, the news organization should have reported that Hezbollah has fired Katyushas into Israeli without any prior Israeli "attacks on civilians." To be balanced, it should have been made clear that the accusation put forth by Hezbollah, a group which seeks the destruction of Israel, is disputed.
		By choosing to report only Hezbollah's rationalization for Katyusha attacks, the AP has, in effect, chosen sides in the dispute and ignored its obligation to be impartial.
