Immediate apology for obvious biased and deceitful reporting on the Gaza issue

The Issue

 

On the 23/07/2014 the RTE news bulletin report on Gaza describes the Gaza’s onslaught as if it were an equal confrontation. Not only that they had the audacity to lie and misrepresent a distraught lady's words as she shouts "Everyday 4 kids are killed, everyday 5 kids are killed. Where is the world, where is religion" which was translated to “I am ready to strap on explosives and fight”. This deceitful and dishonest reporting is totally unacceptable and manipulative. We expect an immediate apology on behalf of RTE on air and other mediums
