How CNN World Plays the "Human Shield Go Home" Sign...

Posted on 04/09/2003 6:47:34 AM PDT by watsonfellow

The oh so intelligent commentators on CNN World just observed some Iraqi's with a "Go Home Human Shields" sign....The Iraqis were obviously quite tiffed at the Human Shields, but the CNN desk people read it as reading, "Go Home (Americans) (,) (from) (the) Human Shields."

Instead of rethinking their obvious Anti-American biases and preconceptions and say something like, "Well I guess this shows that the Iraqi people look upon the American soldiers as liberators, and the human shields as comforters of tryanny." The CNN genuises added words to the sign to make it conform to their worldview! Ah, the Left today! It means, never having to say your sorry.

I believe the bottom of that incredible sign called the Human Shields "Wankers".

Priceless.

CNN = Crescent News Network. Totally pro-Arab - anti-American

Well in their defense (very limited)......the bottom of the sign was obscured and "Wankers" was not seen.

Still, it takes a pretty delusional mindset (common among the modern left) to read that sign as being in protest against the Americans.

Oh well.

I just posted this one to all my Left-Coast relatives, liberals one and all, I'm shamed to admit. It won't do any good, but it sure makes me feel better.

FYI. CNN World makes CNN in America look positively "fair and balanced"....I think the CNN higher ups know that if America ever knew what it broadcast around the world their would be a great outrage. It is up their with the BBC. CNN in America is nothing like it.

My cable company doesn't carry them. But I keep seeing CNN mentioned in posts. Now it makes more sense. Thanks

Well yes I believe you, as I believe my own eyes which told me that the sign said something quite different than what the CNN World folks said it did.

Oh well, CNN World has moved onto an Arab journalist (a lady no less) who is talking about how it is up to America to prove that it won't systematically kill all the Iraqi and Arab/Muslim people. One wonders if she realizes that without America she would be dead, after all uppity women do not do well amongst her kind.

I'm not saying CNN isn't biased, but how does this statement show bias? It is exactly correct.
