American network reporters present tendentious coverage of Saturday's gruesome murder in Itamar, question fact it was a terrorist attack. Israel's Government Press Office 'dumbfounded, astonished' Attila Somfalvi

Israel is demanding an apology from CNN over its coverage of Saturday's terrorist attack in Itamar claiming it was "tendentious and deceptive." Government Press Office director Oren Helman sent a letter to CNN's Bureau Chief Kevin Flower saying he was astonished at the network's coverage of the ruthless attack.

A CNN website report avoided describing the event as a terror attack, noting that the Israel Defense Forces consider it an act of terrorism. "Only you decided to use the term terrorist attack in quotation marks, as if this were not necessarily the case," Helman wrote. "There is a limit to the extent of objectivity regarding such a horrific deed."

CNN is full of devils, liars and cares not one whit about the truth.

CNN pays the Muslim version of Tokyo Rose, Christiann Amanpour. Of course, they are anti-semitic.

Al Jazeera is probably more balanced than CNN.

What’s disturbing is the pattern from the media. If an act of terrorism was indeed carried out by 1 individual regardless of connections or motivations then these acts are considered ‘isolated incidents’ by the media. The MSM did the same thing with Major Hassan at Fort Hood. It’s incredibly dishonest. They’ve got many viewers thinking that terrorist attacks only happen when coordination exists. There is an ongoing effort in the media to whitewash these attacks as to not implicate Islam or Arab culture. It’s Orwelian and it’s disgusting.

Maybe the Mossad should kill half of the CNN staff and see if the other half feels “terrorized”. Works for me.

WOW. What is wrong with people? They slit a baby’s throat. Are there no black & white lines anymore? Really, not even with an infant? Dearest YHWH, please remember the few righteous who live in Sodom.

CNN will collaborate with the Saddam Ba’ath regime and cover up the murder of their own Iraqi nationals working for them so they can remain in Iraq a the “exclusive” US news agency.

They are liars, cheaters, idiologs, that will actually collaborate with terrorists, despots, war lords and the like if it means they can make a buck.

Want to see CNN in action? Just watch how they report in the Middle East vs. the US and you notice they spin the story slightly different to suit whoever their traget audience is. They are not concerned with the news or the truth, it’s all about boosting numbers (viewers) and the international crowd is even larger than the domestic or Israeli one, so CNN will give them the middle finger.

Terrorism is only when white males are involved. Usually ones that are Christian.

Just read the Al Jiz dispatch, and they called the slaughter of an innocent family at night an “attack”, not “terror.”

I wonder if the dead 3 year old was defending herself against the “attack” with her M-16?

Agreed!

Throw them out and not allow any staff to report from there.

What would they do? Start undermining Israeli support? Probably. I guess they have to tread lightly!

What’s surprising is that Israel did not already know that CNN is a Palestinian propagandist.

Good luck with that. However, if it was an Israeli response to a terrorist attack, CNN would come out with all sorts of doctored pictures blaming Israel for all sorts of atrocities.

***A CNN website report avoided describing the event as a terror attack,***

Over at DU they are doing all they can to justify the attack and murders, even on the newborn baby.
