Anne Barnard is very amused and tickled: Hizbullah's press tour

This is rather bizarre. Hizbullah organizes a press tour in Qalamun and the New York Times covered it but purely to mock it.  But why would NYT finds a propaganda press tour by Hizbullah bizarre when the same paper covers such tours almost every week, and transmits verbatim whatever propaganda that Israeli terrorist military officials vomit to the press.  So when Israeli military organizes a press tour, it is treated as a serious event to be covered in a somber tone. But when Hizbullah organizes a propaganda press tour, it is covered in a sarcastic tone. I wonder why, not really.
