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."

It wasn’t Hamas that blew the shit out of a clearly flagged and easily identifiable United States Navy ship and then feigned ignorance. Don’t they have something better to worry about than what a TeeVee station halfway around the world reports about some murders?

I thought someone with your much vaunted cosmopolitan sensibilities would be be familiar with CNN Internationale.

But don't let that get in the way of a good Jew bash--including your sneering attempt to dismiss this slaughter as "some murder."

Keep flying beneath the radar, troll.
