But that's a local station of a Serbian broadcaster, and I think the GP's point relates to AP being American. RTS seems to have broadcast outright propaganda from the building which I doubt AP did. Though Al Jazeera also used the same building, and while Al Jazeera English tries to seem neutral its Arabic version is little more than a qatari state mouthpiece. But that's still not a reason for Israel to bomb it.

Obviously the event you linked to is pretty abhorrent nonetheless. & the wiki page has a pretty interesting quote especially in light of what happened today:

>The American news agency, the Associated Press, wrote:

>The station blatantly spread Milosevic's nationalist propaganda, portraying Serbs as the victims of ethnic attacks in the former Yugoslavia, thus whipping up nationalism that led to wars. At the same time, the television accused the Serbian opposition of being foreign mercenaries and traitors who were working against the country's interests. The propaganda was so intense that it led to anti-government protests in March 1991 in the capital, during which two people were killed in what was the first popular uprising against Milosevic's rule. It also prompted Nato in 1999 to declare the state TV a legitimate target. The RTS building was bombed during the air war that the alliance launched to stop Milosevic's onslaught against Kosovo Albanian separatists. Sixteen RTS employees died in the bombing.[19]

I wouldn't say it's ironic, but it's still... weird to see the AP's tone here.
