Western media sees Gaza with half an eye

Lafi, who touched on the challenges faced by media institutions and the use of technology in delivering information professionally, quickly and accurately, said, "We are now in an open era, but governments continue to maintain a backward traditional media understanding."

The head of the Libyan National Media Organization, Abdel-Rezzak al-Dahish, stated that the Western media always distorts events, and said, "The media is the art of seeking the truth, but they (the Western media) see Gaza with half an eye, they are massacring this truth, even tearing it to pieces."
