My question for you dear reader – bias or incompetence?
Just to set the record straight, so far during “Operation Protective Edge” there have been 2 Israeli civilians killed and 18 Israeli soldiers. At the same time 508 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, of which the U.N. says 72% are civilians (PDF), over 3,000 injured, and over 100,000 displaced.
I watched CNN earlier and was gob smacked when Yousef Munayer (sp) was interviewed.I was expecting the usual pro Israel grilling but it never came.
Well , at least I can brag I saw history being made.
As for the headline, what,s new about the devious tactics of a drowning snake.Apologies to all snakes.
Deliberate obfuscation gets my vote, Adam.
Average Americans read the headlines, and ignore the punctuation.
I’m trying to tell Americans I know about this contrived absurdity but they are not interested.
I don’t want to defend CNN but I assume the crucial word is ‘today’ – ie in the space of 24 hours, and the appalling grammar implies they mean in Israel, when in fact they mean in Israel-Gaza fighting, obviously without saying how many on each side. Just sloppy, low quality sub editing by people who don’t care.
Looks like CNN has copied from Fox the art of deliberately, and strategically, writing headlines to confuse and mislead it’s viewers. What would this zionist tainted channel not do, to help the victims of occupied people.
