Incredicle: CNN tries too hard to be "Fair and Balanced" on website

All of the talk in the media lately sorrounds the fact that CNN is accused of being biased against Israel. This includes a list of events such as Ted Turner saying that Israel is terrorist and talk that some Israeli satellite companies had activated Fox News on it's system and may take CNN off. If you go to CNN.com today you find this:

If you went to a baseball game tonight, and looked around, you would see about 25,000 other fans. If you were living in Israel, one of you would likely be killed in a terrorist attack in the next six months. One of every 26,392 Israelis has been killed in a terrorist attack since January. Per capita, that is more than three times the number of people killed in the attacks on September 11. For Israelis, living with terror has become a part of daily life.

I think CNN is sick for doing this. Do they somehow think of all of bias will be forgotten by just posting an article like this on the front page their website? It would be like Anyone else think this is repugnant?

While it is too late for CNN to save it's antisemitic image, I think the article is a very good way of showing exactly what the Israelis are living trough.

Just this? This is certainly digusting and also demonstrative of how "loose" they are with their so-called "journalistic integrity" (as if they ever had any).

The are a wholly-owned subsidiary of the DNC and the liberal left in this country, period! It is nice that the "average Joe" is finally starting to realize this. I love that some Israeli satelite companies are thinking about yanking CNN altogether; that's great. While that would be great, as long as they take off that anti-Semite, b*tch Christ-E-Yawn Iamawhore, I would be ok with that.

This just shows you that CNN can, but chooses not to, represent both sides of a story.

As part of our commitment to cover the victims rather than the terrorists, and to put the military situation in context, Wolf Blitzer began on Monday doing a series of special shows called "Victims of Terror." It focuses on the innocent people killed by terrorist bombs. We have created a special website as part of CNN.com to document and personalize those killed in terrorist attacks. It can be found at www.CNN.com/victimsofterror. Sheila MacVicar has done a moving story on the grandmother and 5-year-old grandchild killed in the French Hill terror attack. We have also done stories in the past few days on those killed at Itamar and elsewhere. We have made it a general policy not to use or report on the videos supplied by the bombers. As always, we appreciate your comments on this or any other subject. Please feel free to respond to us at terrorvictims@cnn.com so that we may easily get back to you. Thank you.

The above is an e-mail I received after sending a letter of complaint in re: Ted Turner's assessment of the 9/11 murderers as heroes. They sure are backpedalling.

Sadly, their new direction in covering the victims of terror is driven by ad revenue rather than any concern for their lives or health or justice. Watch how quickly any ideologue changes their cherished beliefs whenever the money is threatened to be cut off.

Hey, you can't expect people to spell the words in their title correctly?

We must be tolerant and diverse.

All letter configurations that look like a word will be counted as correct as long as everybody is happy and full of self esteem.< / sarcasm >

On their website, eh?

ain't that about the same as NBC claiming they covered the Republican convention, while burying the tidbits on CNBC or MSNBC?

Not to nitpick, but a great deal of CNN's sheep are getting their news there so they DON'T HAVE to read anything.

Yep.
