61. CNN bias
Grantman ,   Atlanta, GA   (08.15.06)
Shocked! I'm simply shocked that a news media organization might in any way be biased against Israel. Whoever would have thought that might happen? I'm so glad that YNet devoted so much space to the obvious.
62. So.........What else is New?
Tonytoga ,   Houston, Texas   (08.15.06)
I know the point needs to continually be made but let's face it......this is NOTHING new. The mainstream U.S. media.....hell, the worldwide mainstreet media is completely biased. The mainstream media in the U.S. is controlled by Jews you say? How can they be against Isreal? Answer: The same way liberals can be against the U.S. in any conflict it faces overseas.....includng the war against terror. Unfortunately, tragically it's going to take a lot more suffering on the part of Isrealis and many more dead American victims of terror before we learn the lessons, push these idiots aside and do what must be done.
63. TexasRainmaker.com highlights media bias

http://www.texasrainmaker.com has all the answers.
64. Freedom of expression?
Iran's Next, Libs ,   eLand   (08.15.06)
To #35...freedom of expression? This isn't a painting of a scene from Brokeback Mountain, this is supposed to be a legit news organization. I'm embarrassed to have a home in Atlanta.
65. A view from this part of the world
CK Tan ,   Singapore, Singapore   (08.15.06)
I've heard the BBC world service radio reports and watched the various news channels, including the CNN, on cable. These media choose to take sides and there's nothing Israel can do. EXCEPT (here's my 2-cents' worth of an idea) to set up an international news company (TV as well as web-based) to balance the blatant & extreme biasness. Otherwise, the one-side adversed publicity will continue to haunt and damage Israel's right to exist and to defend her people from terrorism.
66. Delete the craphole channel from satellite TV and kick the
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica, CA   (08.15.06)
reporters out of the country. This is not the first time, this is just another time. Fox News has more viewers than all the other talk channels COMBINED. Dump the CNN scum, you don't need them.
68. the trap
Wolf ,   Monterey, California   (08.15.06)
Israel will never win a world sympathy-fest because this present world will always be largely antisemitic. In the present circumstance, Israel should have kept strictly to the facts: it was attacked and retaliated against an Iranian proxy force inside Lebanon. The fact that Lebanon is HOSTING a militia like this that has fired thousands of rockets from Lebanon's territory leaves the Lebanese people accountable. The moment Israel cries victimhood it loses.
69. par for the course
christopher ,   Monterey, USA   (08.15.06)
This is typical behavior for CNN. They wouldn't be able to report a cat up a tree without some kind of bias.
70. cnn
george glancz ,   big bear usa   (08.15.06)
instead of wathing cnn, you should watch Fax news.
71. CNN
Tom ,   Houston USA   (08.15.06)
Seems no one wants both sides of the story anymore ... if anyone challenges our government or try to hold them to account they scouraged on Fox news or websites like this... or radio controlled by the most part by the GOP propaganda machine. I like both perpectives and I think CNN comes close to that.. all of the rest of the world can't be wrong can they? By the way what ever happened in this country to while you might not agree with what someone says you agree with their right to say it? I want more than anything for Isreal to be safe but war effects both sides in such a conflict and remember Lebannon HAS no airforce or tanks and more than a million refugees already ... is one life in Israel = to what 100 Lebannese ? Hezoballah is afwul what they are doing but all this is doing is driving hatred I am afraid. Hope I am wrong .. Shalom and pray for the peace of Israel.
72. CNN BIAS!!
ARCHIE BROOKINS ,   INVER GROVE MN USA   (08.15.06)
THEY DON`T CALL IT COMMUNIST NEWS NETWORK FOR NOTHING. I WISH I WAS 25 AGAIN,I`D BE INLISTING IN THE IDF,DO YOU NEED ANY ARTILLERY MEN?? I`M A VIETNAM VET[MARINE CORPS]AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN IN AWE OF ISRAEL AND IT`S STRUGGLE TO SURVIVE!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL,AND KNOW YOU ARE ALWAYS IN OUR PRAYERS. ARCHIE BROOKINS
73. Where is the piece on Mike Wallace
ruppert ,   Atlanta, GA, USA   (08.15.06)
Kissing the rear of the former head of the modern day Gestapo in Iran? Any interviews from any Iranian ex-pats or Bahai's? For real- It is CNN. The coverage is slanted to enable socialists running for office, and it is an election year in the US.
74. CNN Coverage
Mark ,   Austin, TX   (08.15.06)
Susan (#22), you expressed it perfectly. I saw that piece and was amazed by it's intentional slant, even by CNN standards.
75. Chicken Noodle Network
Isaiah ,   USA   (08.15.06)
That sums it up :)
76. Bias
Ciaran ,   Boston USA   (08.15.06)
CNN bias maybe but FOX please! Fair and totally bias
77. Yet again...
Jodogger ,   USA   (08.15.06)
Why does Israel cry about Hizbullah being armed by Iran, when the US arms Israel? Does Israel not understand that it needs to retreat from ALL, and I repeat myself, ALL of the occupied territories, in order for there to be peace. Israel is like the common US child, spoiled and wanting more. Before any dumb arses respond, do your homework.
78. USA's puppet
Jodogger ,   USA   (08.15.06)
Israel is US's puppet as much as Lebanon is Irans (Supposed) puppet. People in th US are so worried about other things, that they are blinded by what is the truth. God, Gas, Goals are dangled before the US people (by the way, I am a US citizen) that we have become brain-washed! Its funny, make sure you spend 400+ dollars on clothes before your child starts school; make sure they have a cell phone, even at the 2nd grade; blah blah blah. Welcome the fall of Rome (AKA:USA)
79. http://sayanythingblog.com
Jodogger ,   USA   (08.15.06)
FYI: This blog is a joke. They do NOT want to hear from anyone who is intellegent in the least bit.
80. Lies, Zionist Propaganda
Jodda Mitchell ,   USA   (08.15.06)
Hey, we all saw the israeli citizens on the news, sitting around in full make-up, hair combed, looking bored. The israeli children were blowing up balloons and eating cake, laughing and playing. We saw it day in and day out, but it got old. I want my media to portray what happened to the other side, babies blown to bits, fleeing unarmed civilians being fired on by israeli troops, the ambulances destroyed, etc. Too bad they didn't have a make-up crew on hand for the Lebanese. Whine, whine, whine.....
81. Khalid # 37
Natan ,   USA   (08.15.06)
Khalid , you are a real moron. You know damn well that there is diferrence between that dead civilians on both sides. In Lebanon, although 1000 have been killed, the intent was to kill zero. In Israel, 39 civilians killed while the intent was probably 39,000. and if you can't see the diferrece than you are dumber than i thought... Also, many Hizbollah fighters were wearing civilian clothes. So how many of them were of those 1000 "dead civilians"?
82. #53 Jerry
Natan ,   USA   (08.15.06)
Oh those "poor" children from Lebanon, and the "poor" women..How odd it is that only women and children are killed..mmmm. where are the men?? did they lock the women and children and left them behind?? it sure looks good on tv...na...Muslims could never do that right?? YEA
83. the war
bob ,   usa   (08.15.06)
what did you expect from cnn, the truth?
84. CNN biased
Kay Braswell ,   Texas USA   (08.15.06)
I never watch CNN unless I am in a place where they have it on the TV. Then I go and ask the receptionist to turn it to FOX NEWS. They have always done so. I would walk out if they didn't.
85. CNN
Steven Elliot ,   USA   (08.15.06)
It is now obvious to anyone who will take the time to exaime the evidence that CNN i s a biased and corrupt news organization that fails the litmus test of objectivity in reporting. the more that is done to expose CNN for what it is, a stooge for the terrorists that seek to kill innocent civilians. I am proud to say that I cancelled my subscription to the New York times and I have blocked CNN from my TV as well as those at the business I own. Congradulations CNN, you have demonstrated to the world what liitle regard ypu have to jounalistic integrity.
86. CNN's bias
Hampar ,   Montreal, Canada   (08.15.06)
Your argument that CNN is biased against Israel is laughable. We in Canada know it to be so one-sided that we don not watch it.
87. Thats why CNN loses ratings to FOX every day
daryn ,   USA   (08.15.06)
most can see through their bias
88. CNN
David ,   Texas   (08.15.06)
CNN = Clinton News Network
89. Media Bias
AV8 ,   TX, USA   (08.15.06)
If any of you are relying on network news as your only source of information, you are not getting much in the way of truth.
90. #12 SCOTT: YOU'RE AN IDIOT
avee ,   jerusalem   (08.15.06)
moan, moan and then moan some more. I'm willing to bet you've never been here, but you spout out your views as if we all here agree with you, well we don't.
