Political pressure. Sure, keep exposing their lies and all, but that alone can't be the endgame. They're not going to change without outside pressure. Maybe if congressmen started receiving thousands of communications from constituents concerned about the credibility of media reporting and how its impacting policy and decision making within the government, etc...

Do notice that the reporter doesn't really tell what they saw at the scene, only what one other has seen. That doesn't even come close to gossip, at that point. So, when will these reporters actually show up on the scene and start this thing known as 'reporting'? Yes, a lovely AP television camera crew seeing bodies taken away in a truck... did they happen to show the rest of the area? All that lovely carnage that the camera can linger over? I really don't know as, after Lebanon, solo reporters in areas where 'battle' has gone on are highly suspect. I will wait for the Ministry to actually hand out facts and figures at this point. AP has sunk to al-Reuters, NYT and WaPo depths... and none of their hulls will take much more at those depths. Not even gossip, really, just rumor.
