ABC = Australian, Biased and Clueless

A quick perusal of the headlines in ABC News Online's Middle East Conflict section highlights how they are clueless, suckered by spin, and desperate to believe Palestinians factions embrace diplomacy and avoid violence.

In chronological order, the headlines are:

Woman's death adds to rising Gaza toll
Palestinian factions agree to talks
Gaza gunfire continues despite agreement
Palestinian cease-fire appears to hold
Abbas stands by election call
Kidnapped Fatah official released
One killed in Gaza hospital gun battle
5 killed as Gaza fighting rages
Palestinian leaders call for end to fighting

The awards for spin are:

1. Palestinian cease-fire appears to hold
2. Palestinian leaders call for end to fighting, and
3. Palestinian factions agree to talks

Truth is in the eye of the beholder.
