CNN Falls For It Again

You would think that an organization as experienced as CNN would know better. But I guess they still haven't a clue. All they've managed to do is to justify their position as the number two cable news outfit, and only there because the big three, ABC, CBS and NBC, are even more clueless.

Yesterday, the network that interrupted the coverage of the beginning of the war with a breaking news story about the death of Red Buttons (OMIGAWD!!!), took us on a "tour" of the bombed-out Hezbollah terror center. Now of course, seeing this area is certainly newsworthy. But CNN went one step further. Instead of just showing what Israeli retaliation can achieve, they had a Hezbollah guide!

Imagine during WWII, an American news network bringing in a Nazi soldier to show how innocent the villagers were after being blown up by the Allies!

Aside from the deeply one-sided tour - I'm sure CNN plans to send a camera crew to visit the families of the 8 people killed in Israel by Hezbollah rockets - the CNN anchor who "got" the exclusive, Nic Robertson, simply gushed as the terrorist warned him that he was in the "most dangerous spot in the most dangerous area" of Beirut.

The fact that Hezbollah stores weapons in people's homes is a proven fact. The fact that the Islamofacists modus operandi is too use human shields to force Israel (and the USA) to hit civilian targets is a given. The carnage that ensues because of these tactics are exactly what the terrorists want. They know that once pictures are sent to CNN, or Al-Jezeera or to the New York Slimes depicting the poor "innocent" victims of Israeli (or American) "aggression", that the Arab street, the UN and the Israeli (and American) left will start demanding Israel to cease and desist.

Basically, Hezbollah (and Iran and Syria) know that no matter how many times they start up, the left and the UN will force a cease-fire. They know that Israel and the United States won't attack them unless forced to retaliate. And even then, any aggression is met with cries of restraint, restraint, restraint. You never hear Hamas or Hezbollah call for restraint. Just kill, kill, kill.

CNN, like the Times and others like them, have fallen all over themselves to be "neutral". They sit in their pretty glass offices and wax poetic about "making a difference". They reminisce about the glory days of the Vietnam era and Watergate where the World considered them the shining light of democracy. But since then, they have morphed into global monster who no longer can spot the difference between right and wrong. All the protests and demonstrations ended up doing was costing more lives due to the communist takeover of Vietnam and Cambodia. Chalk that up to the left.

Could you imagine the outcry if Tokyo Rose were broadcasting from a station in Cincinnati? Yet it's happening right here in Dearborn, Michigan. Imagine the outcry if the day before Washington led his troops over the Delaware, a major newspaper published his war plans for all the world to see? Imagine the outcry if NBC broadcast live from Normandy in the hours leading up to the Allied invasion. What about an exclusive with Hitler showing the world how wonderful is country was with nary a Jew in site. Would that be newsworthy?

CNN proved its immorality when Eason Jordan admitted to covering up for Saddam in return for access in Iraq. Why would we believe a word they say now? The left seem to consider FOXNews as the mouthpiece for the Bush administration. I like to consider them the voice of America. CNN? The New York Times? We already know who's side they're on.

In a fight for the right to even exist, yes - it does matter.

If you think this fight is just between Hezbollah and Israel, wake up before it's too late.
