Nice story, Steve.

There are some very good investigative journalists, especially in the States. I would bet my soul though that Bakhtananda and the other monks exercised their discrimination when reading the newspapers, as every one of us should do. Also, we all know that some newspapers are biased because they are ruled by specific political influences.

Here in Italy, the media considers the reports of atrocities on babies by Hamas reliable. They do not argue that extreme atrocities like decapitation have been committed.

Some of them though argue that such atrocities are the result of the policy of Israel. Which in a sense is true, karmically speaking.
