The following was forwarded to me by a Chicago cousin.
< < I don't know who originated it or to whom the "we"
< < refers, as in "We would like to ask all the people."
< < That aside, there is validity to the charges of bias
< < and lack of even-handedness of CNN in its mid-east
< < reporting. It is being sent in its entirety.
< < Read on...
< < -sjb
< <
< <
< <
< < For the last few years we have watched CNN's
< < unbalanced, pro Arab coverage of the Middle-East
< < conflict. This fact may (or may not) explain CNN's
< < biased coverage: Saudi Prince Alaweed bin Tabel bin
< < Abdel Aziz al Saud (the one who offered NY Mayor
< < Giuliani 10 million) has 16 billion invested in
< < American companies, including 932 million in CNN's
< < parent - AOLTime Warner. (Oct 22 Time Mag, pg 22).
< < JR
< <
< < Through the years CNN has pushed a pro Arab, Anti
< < Israel agenda, by giving Arab representatives more
< < airtime, by selectively reporting on Palestinian
< < casualties while ignoring the ones on the Israeli
< < side.
< <
< < CNN also (more frequently than not) uses active text
< < when Palestinians are killed: "Israelis killed
< < Palestinians", and passive text when Israelis are
< < killed: " Israelis were killed" (not mentioning that
< < they were killed by Palestinians).
< <
< < Another example of CNN bias is their reporting of
< < the frequent attacks by large groups of Palestinians
< < against Israeli army posts with few soldiers in them.
< < The soldiers have two choices-get lynched like the
< < ones the Palestinians lynched in Ramalla, or defend
< < themselves. While defending themselves, they kill a
< < few of the attackers. CNN headline will usually read
< < something like "Israeli soldiers shoot and kill five
< < Palestinians."
< < CNN does not report that the Palestinians caused the
< < incident.
< <
< < CNN has also failed to report that following the
< < September 11 tragedy, the Palestinian Authority
< < confiscated reporter's tapes that showed Palestinians
< < celebrating in the streets the deaths of thousands of
< < Americans. The Palestinian authority also threatened
< < reporters, and told them that they cannot guarantee
< < their safety if they continue to reports these
< < celebrations.
< <
< < And CNN has taken to calling the terrorists who
< < destroyed the WTC buildings and hit the Pentagon
< < "suspected hijackers". JR (verified) (Reuters has done
< < the same - responding to pressure from the Arabs and
< < out of fear for their Middle East reporters' safety).
< <
< < Until recently, there was no any alternative to CNN,
< < and therefore we all watched it. Now FOX NEWS has 24
< < hours a day service. The coverage is much more
< < balanced, honest and fair. Israeli representatives
< < are given equal time to express their side, and the
< < news reporters are much more objective in their
< < comments.
< <
< < We would like to ask all the people who care about
< < Israel, about fairness, truth and honest reporting to
< < BOYCOTT CNN and start watching FOX NEWS.
< < You might also want to write to CNN and tell them
< < what you are doing and why. It would also be a good
< < idea to write to the companies that advertise with
< < CNN, and ask them to stop supporting such a biased
< < organization.
