CB, i think it's a pretty standard procedure. i imagine it went something like this: news editor gets call from reporter somewhere in Israel who says: "we've heard that in some areas, the Palestinians are celebrating in the streets". news editor calls the guys responsible for the pictures and says "we have reports of Palestinians celebrating...you got any footage of celebrating Palestinians?" well, of course they have....

and then you see on your TV "CNN LIVE from the Gaza strip".

they probably didn't even ascertain if there REALLY were celebrations. maybe the only people celebrating were all from a known radical Hamas strong-hold? who knows? we'll NEVER know, because it doesn't get reported...we only get to see and hear what we're SUPPOSED to see and hear, just as in the old Soviet Bloc.
