Yesterday I was listening to NPR, and they did a quick segment on something-or-other in Gaza, and it wasn't until the segment was almost over that I realized that none of the soundbites were credited. There was some man talking about "Israel does not deliberately target civilians," immediately followed by another man saying "these type of things only show how how the IDF treats Palestinians" followed by some man saying that "the UN condemns", and I realized that they've become so commonplace I could write them myself, in my sleep. Has it become so commonplace that news reporters no longer bother to identify the speakers? Or was NPR just making a point that almost slid by me? So a human interest story about zoo animals is, at least, something different.
