CNN World News: They are talking about the Palestinian protests
over the Hamas sheik's death. Its incredible the difference between the news CNN shows the world and the crap they give us. Its as if they know the sneering they would get if they did the same thing to the rest of the world. I wonder how the revenues of that broadcast compare to the USA version? Surely they would make higher numbers if they would give us half the quality they give everyone else.

Ted turner must heave a lot.

1. CNN World is very good
It's like the American CNN of about 15 years ago. FOXNEWS just promotes the Blame America Last point of view. CNN (USA) looks even stupider because they are trying to be more like FOX and making fools out of themselves.

2. They softened it up, too, in my opinion
Here's this government engaging in an open program of assassinations, deliberately killing people and admitting it, and the newspeople say, "He came under fire from an Israeli helicopter." Uh, no - they aimed a missile at him, fired it, and blew his ass up. On purpose. And they're not sorry.

3. That's like saying
that shooting a car full of terrorists in Afghanistan is an assassination. What's wrong with killing Yassin?

4. Are you serious?
If so, I'm not up for the debate. I'm just saying the CNN World News wasn't that truthful about it. They made out like he just sort of got in the way of this attack helicopter or something.
