The problem is that a phrase like "Israeli warplanes bombed Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon" should be rephrased to suit the two sides. If it isn't, they see bias:

1. "The Zionist aggressors attacked innocent Lebanese civilians without provocation last night."

2. "Israeli defense forces responded to Hezbollah rocket attacks by striking two terrorist training camps overnight."

Objectivity is impossible in that context, when the audiences are desperate to have their prejudices fed.
