The ever so subtle pro-Israeli propaganda continues...

[Postman]

On CNN, the typed description in the box at the bottom of the screen -

"Israeli Troops in Gaza"


Oh really? Are they there for the beaches and nightlife? Did they just suddenly materialize out of thin air in Gaza or is it too descriptive and provacative to type "Israeli Troops Invade Gaza"?

If Syrian Troops were to invade Israel would CNN describe it as "Syrian Troops In Gaza"?

1. Now, now.

We all know CNN is a paradigm of journalistic integrity.

5. Actually, they've been very balanced in their coverage thusfar

Asking tough questions, standing up to propaganda, inviting guests to speak who otherwise have no outlets, and running CNNI since the incursion. All in all I'd say CNN is redeeming itself for many previous missteps.

2. yeah, that say that like it's a good thing

which, of course, it's not.

3. is Gaza a country like Syria?

didn't think so

Israel and Egypt have de facto control of the territory

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

4. Not the worst I've seen.

I think the message is sent with that title.

Of course, it requires putting 2 and 2 together.

[Sensitivity]

6. Under International law, Gaza is under Occupation and Israeli actions are war crimes

Hard to imagine, but Israel is under legal obligation to meet the welfare needs of GAZA and the West Bank.

7. as far as I know under some kind of law

you're not supposed to fire rockets randomly into civilian areas.

For eight years...no consequences?

8. Al Jazeera: Israeli ground troops enter Gaza

CNN: Israeli ground troops enter Gaza

Same headline on both sites (Al Jazeera and CNN)
