it was a bruitally honest account of the situation from someone who was there. definitely refreshing and incredibly interesting.
this is probably really boring for most people...
i'm looking at framing of international news coverage of the israel/hezbollah conflict of july 2006. there were two main frames that emerged in all of the coverage from various newspapers. "proportionate” frames in reference to the situation convey a message indicating that israel’s response was fair and appropriate in regard to Hezbollah’s initial attack, where as “disproportionate” frames suggest that israel used too much or inappropriate force in its retaliation.
i'm using the bourdain clip to connect sort of a cultural frame to the presentation (joe's obvious disgust with hezbollah and as tony says, his worry of how american's will view the situation, etc.) annnd also so people won't fall asleep in my fifteen minutes of presenting
