HonestReporting finds CNN is clearly biased against Israel
As reported in the latest: ISRAEL REPORT - http://www.israelreport.org/ - Friday, 28 November 2008:
HonestReporting, an organization that monitors the media's anti-Israel bias has been reviewing over the last 12 months the video segments from CNN correspondents as well as raw video footage hosted by CNN on its website and has come to a conclusion that CNN coverage in Middle East is clearly anti-Israel biased. HonestReporting found that video footage favored the Palestinian Arabs over Israel by an almost two-to-one margin. For example, in the coverage about the daily sufferings in Gaza there is little context given for the reasons behind Israel's blockade. There are no interviews with Israeli government officials or even a short clip of life in Sderot under rocket attacks, the report of HonestReporting claims.
Almost twice as many people critical towards Israel were interviewed as opposed to those who defended Israel or were critical of Palestinian Arab action. In one interview with Palestinian Arab students who have been refused permission to leave Gaza to study in the US it is falsely claimed that Israel controls all of Gaza borders. No correction is made that Israel has no presence on Gaza's border with Egypt. HonestReporting found also that in almost seventy percent of raw video footage actions are shown without proper context and present Israel negatively. One example is a video showing the aftermath of Israel's air strike on a car in Gaza. No reasons is given for the Israeli strike.

People must ask the question, why? If you understand the power and money source behind the global media and see that it (i.e. he) is desiring to pit the world against Israel for some later purpose, then it is simple to understand why major media outlets like CNN give unbalanced reports regarding Israel's actions. Other than the reality that much of the world can't accept responsibility for their own problems, historically the Jews are used as a scapegoat for the blame of those problems. Many nations are eventually going to find cause to persecute Jew-dah again and eventually encamp against the Biblical Zionist state (possibly after the current Marxist/Zionist state is taken over by righteous Jew-dah).
