Reversed reporting

The AP does its best to pretend it is neutral while reporting on the situation between Israel and Lebanon. This is how the headline on Yahoo News reads right now:


Israel sends 8,000 troops into Lebanon
AP - 1 hour, 25 minutes ago

BOURJ AL-MULOUK, Lebanon - Israel pressed the first full day of a massive new ground attack, sending 8,000 troops into southern Lebanon on Wednesday and seizing five people it said were Hezbollah fighters in a dramatic airborne raid on a northeastern town. Hezbollah retaliated with its deepest strikes yet into Israel, firing a record number of more than 160 rockets.


Here's how it should have been reported:
Hezbollah fires record number of 160 rockets on Jewish civilians

Hezbollah continues its war against the Jewish people in Israel with more rockets than ever before. Israel retaliated today with a massive new ground attack, sending 8,000 troops into southern Lebanon and seizing five terroirsts in a dramatic airborne raid on northeasternn terorrist's stronghold.

Can't really expect much from AP - can I?
