LGF: CNN.COM Weather Page Refers to "Jerusalem,[No Country]"

CNN: Even the Weather is Biased Against Israel

Search the CNN Weather page for “Jerusalem,” and here are the results:

Clicking “Jerusalem, null” brings you to the page for Israel, of course.

Could be an innocent mistake, you say? But that’s not all—not by a long shot. Their “Weather Location Selector” lists Gaza and the West Bank as countries separate from Israel—and their list of Israeli cities includes several Arab villages which have not existed since 1948.

And in a related outrage, another reader emailed about Samsung’s list of support centers in the Middle East—which includes the imaginary country of “Palestine,” but not Israel.

Again, sorry for not check if this is a repost.

CNN.com??

I seem to recall there was a site by that name many, many years ago. But, I can’t imagine visiting it for any reason. NO WAY would I want to add to their click counter and fund their efforts.

Licorice: "Confused, proterrorist, antisemitic, racist CNN is a traitor to free feral animals and humans."

Turner: 'So who are the terrorists?
I would make a case that both sides are involved in terrorism.

Jerusalem is both in Isreal and the West Bank, so it would be offensive to state either country. Gaza is not part of the Israeli state. CNN International is better than all the other news stations that you have in the states like FOX and NBC.
