CNN Exposes Hizbullah's Staging Tactics
Arutz Sheva - IsraelNationalNews ^ | 7/27/6

Posted on 07/27/2006 12:45:54 PM PDT by SmithL

A CNN reporter has exposed tactics used by Hizbullah terrorists to stage media events in order to give the impression of a large number of civilian casualties caused by Israeli bombing attacks on terrorist position, according to a report issued by the Honest Reporting organization.

Rich Noyes said he was assigned to photograph buildings damaged in the bombings. "After letting us take pictures of a few damaged buildings, they take us to another location, where there are ambulances waiting. This is a heavily orchestrated Hezbollah media event. When we got here, all the ambulances were lined up," and the drivers turned on their sirens and sped away for photographers. "These ambulances aren't responding to any new bombings. The sirens are strictly for effect," Noyes said.

This is beautiful. Is it possible that the MSM has at last revealed secrets of our enemies instead of our own?

Maybe they're trying to make up for Nic Robertson's disastrous report last week, in which he basically ended up transmitting Hezbollah propaganda for them.

No surprise here. CNN has been staging terrorist and thug propaganda for decades. Their former President even admited it that they selectively reported stories out of Saddam's Bagdad to keep their office open.

Shame is not a thing that CNN is known for.

More appropriately, the headline should read:

CNN Exposed! For Aiding and Abetting Hizbullah's Staging Tactics

All except the most ardent Kool-aid drinker has their limit. I think the left is getting tired of being made to look like dupes, everytime the bad guys turn around in this. If they weren't being made to look like total idiots in their coverage of each new Isreali "outrage", you probably wouldn't hear a peep.

If there is one thing a lib hates, even more than being wrong, is to be shown to be wrong AND look like a idiot in the process.

Wow, the NYCrimes are really going to be upset at CNN. Memo to CNN: little pinch wants you to destabalize America's friends, not America's enemies. Just whose side are you on anyway?

My favorite staged photo op is the one with about 50 photographers (some with helmets on) lined up 4 deep to take an "action" shot of some rock throwing Pali

Can anyone post it?

Anderson Cooper said this on his show when he was showing footage from the Hezbollah-controlled areas of South Beirut.

Which explains why they are always hateful.

CNN has had some interesting coverage during this deal. When fox gets to repetitive, or when Shepherd Smith is on.... CNN is a little bit of a change of pace.

Too little, too late, from the fifth column terrorist appeasing traitors in the MSM. It was bad enough when the MSM was just the propaganda arm of the Democrap party, but now they've become the propaganda arm for Islamic terrorists. Apparently what little soul and conscience they have left finally got to them. Again, though, too little, too late...
