CNN Exposed! Gaza Story Doesn't Add Up

Anyone who has been watching the spectrum of mainstream media news of late knows that an anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian bias has permeated it's reports on the war in Gaza.

On Saturday evening, for example, NBC News' nightly piece from Gaza focused exclusively on the toll the war is taking on children. Fair enough.

But not a single instance was mentioned of Israeli children that have been harmed or killed by Hamas rockets sent into southern Israel for the last few years.

The entire story focused exclusively on Palestinian children, as if 'those evil Jews' should be condemned for initiating war against Gaza's poor, defenseless children.

CNN has certainly been on the front lines of the anti-Jew campaign.

NewsBusters posts an example of CNN's bias as shown in a video from Gaza that in all likelihood is fake, based upon the known circumstances.

When the story of the fake video hit the blogosphere, CNN received hundreds if not thousands of protests. It then took down the disputed video.

But the video was re-posted when CNN got its story together and insisted that the video is legitimate, although several investigative reporters aren't buying it.

At issue is the death and burial of a 12-year-old younger brother of a cameraman, which supposedly was taped in real-time, as it happened, and then posted on CNN's website.

Investigative reporters from the 'new media' were skeptical. Here is a sampling of their views:

Johnson at LGF isn't impressed:

If they really had “little hope” the patient could be saved, they’d be going all out with CPR, which means very vigorous chest compression (it’s not unusual to break ribs if it’s done right), and ventilation to oxygenate the blood—not delicately touching the boy’s abdomen with the tips of their fingers as we see in that video.

Morrissey isn't either:

It’s not only a fake, it’s an absurd fake. It’s not even done well, and Gilbert’s dramatic headshake at the end of the supposed CPR — in which Doctor #2’s hands keep coming off the body — is only the cheesy coup de grace. Why did CNN republish this?

..... Maybe Martin can explain how a missile hits a roof and kills two boys but does no more damage to the roof than what a pickaxe could do in five minutes — and how the furniture didn’t get disturbed.

Here's a bit from Owens's post:

CNN has also yet to explain what kind of Israeli drone could have fired the purported missile, and what kind of missile would cause the minimal damage shown on the rooftop where it is claimed these boys are killed.

It is important for citizens to be able to trust their news sources in a world such as ours. And, increasingly, we are being shown little by little every day that the mainstream media is clearly not a trustworthy source of news.

CNN THUGGERY FOR OBAMA--THE PALIN AMBUSH

CNN has shown itself beyond doubt to be just as biased, partisan, underhanded, and untrustworthy as the New York Times, Newsweek, NBC, CBS, and ABC.

In an interview with Sarah Palin on Tuesday, the reporter who interviewed Palin either deliberately or unknowingly misquoted a statement from venerable conservative publication National Review.

The subject of the question to Palin was the Leftwing media's unfair treatment of Palin, which is well-known. Yet the reporter sought to make it appear as if conservatives also question her intelligence and ability.

National Review's Byron York wrote the piece in question, during which he stated that mainstream media coverage of Palin was designed to make her appear dumb, stupid, inept, and unqualified.

Yet, CNN's reporter read those words from the article as if York had assessed Palin in such a fashion, which is completely and blatantly FALSE.

According to sources at Fox News and other lesser-known news outlets, CNN was contacted early this morning in order to call their attention to the gross error. So far there has been no apology and no retraction.

A great disservice has been done not only to Byron York who was savagely misquoted, but to Sarah Palin herself. A apology from CNN is owed to both.

If the misquote was an simply error, it only points to gross incompetence on the part of CNN, particularly since many Americans do rely on the leftwing network for political coverage.

But if the whole thing was deliberate, then it only shows more 'in the tank' Leftwing thuggery the mainstream media is willing to adopt in order to get their guy Obama into the White House.

It is obvious that if Barack Obama is elected, then the New York Times, the Washington Post, Newsweek, CNN, CBS, ABC, and NBC will make up his centralized propaganda corp we can call 'the Politburo,' as per the old Commie Soviet Union.

CNN VP Debate Poll a Sham

As I was watching the post-debate pundits on CNN pontificate on why Joe Biden supposedly beat Sarah Palin in last night's debate, I knew something fishy was going on when Anderson Cooper mentioned in passing that CNN's poll included all viewers and not just likely voters and not just Americans.

In other words, CNN's poll was open to people in other countries--anywhere CNN broadcasts, such as Brazil.

When Cooper first showed the poll, I was taken aback by the numbers. Biden supposedly beat Palin by some unbelievable number, such as 56-32%.

I knew this could not be correct given Palin's very strong showing and Biden's major gaffe on the U.S. Constitution.

And then the truth comes out about the poll. People in Brazil and other Latin American countries, as well as overseas nations, were voting in that poll.

And of course we all know that the whole world wants Obama to win, particularly his friends in Communist and terrorist dictatorships such as Cuba, North Korea, Iran, along with Hamas and Hizbollah.

Thus, the CNN poll was and is a sham. Yet the mainstream media continues to report it today as a major gauge of how the American public views Palin and Biden. Nothing could be further from the truth.
