Biased CNN explains as "news" why Palestinian Arabs aim at civilians

Biased CNN explains as "news" why Palestinian Arabs aim at civilians

At the CNN news ticker the following title of "news" appeared today (Dec. 21, 2010): "5 hurt in rocket fire, retaliation, in southern Israel" as well as on the page: http://edition.cnn.com/MIDDLEEAST.

Though when clicking on the actual link, the language is different. http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/meast/12/21/israel.rocket.fire/index.html

That exact title was copied automatically on those that subscribe to CNN's feeds, e. g.: http://news.vivasoft.hu/the-news/17842-5-hurt-in-rocket-fire,-retaliation-in-southern-israel.html and http://359online.com/5-hurt-in-rocket-fire-retaliation-in-southern-israel/

---

This fits very well with the Islamists-appeasement policy that whatever they do, it's just a reaction, when in fact the Arab Palestinians are always initiating the attack aimed at innocent Israelis at their homes or at kindergartens when the children are gathered there, or/and practicing the use of its own civilians.

The hidden message behind the headline which attempts almost to equate the two sides is so outrageous, as if there's some kind of moral equivalence between those that seek death and destruction for all and Israelis that struggle so hard to defend lives, so is the "understanding" that when Hamas says it does something as a "retaliation," we should simply "believe" it. Since when is news media a mouthpiece for terrorists? No one should buy into it as a fact, but as Hamas' propaganda argument only. Neither CNN, nor anyone lese can not assert what is a "retaliation" and what is in fact, an excuse.

It entails a horrific cheapening of Israeli lives, that they're hurt "only because of some retaliation" thing.

Again and again, CNN shows its real "news" colors, when its more of an opinion medium.

To balance this case out, the first thing CNN aught to do is have a title like:


TOPICS: Politics
KEYWORDS: gaza; hamas; palestinians; qassam

How about a simple news headline: “Palestinians fire at Israeli homes.”

Facts? You mean, just state what the facts are? That would be biased, because then nobody would understand why Hamas is doing these things? Maynard G. Krebbs would say: I’m, like, protesting. Against what? I don’t know, man. Maybe that’s why I’m protesting.

These explanations can only be done when its stated that that's whtat Palestinian Arabs claim, but not CNN's own asserted analysis.
