A recent Guardian article documenting CNN’s bias toward Israel was impressive but lacked one crucial detail: Why CNN has such bias. You don’t have to look farther than CEO David Zaslav to understand the answer is Zionism.
The Guardian reveals CNN’s pro-Israel bias is no accident, but a conscious and complex effort directed from the very top of the network.
Why is the U.S. mainstream hiding Netanyahu’s provocative statement, that Israel will permanently occupy everything “from the river to the sea?”
Labeling every part of Gaza as connected to Hamas makes every part of Gaza a legitimate military target. This is what Israel did with the Gaza Health Ministry and Al-Shifa Hospital, echoed uncritically by Western mainstream media.
CNN’s Jake Tapper failed to adhere to professional and ethical journalism standards in a story claiming to offer proof of sexual violence by Palestinian fighters on October 7.
Everyone from the Congress to the Harvard president is obsessing about a fantasy of genocide — the claim that the chant “From the river to the sea” is a call for Jewish extermination, while ignoring the actual genocide unfolding in Gaza.
The mainstream U.S. media is using the word “hostages” to describe the Israelis who Hamas militants have captured and taken into Gaza. Analyzing this is a good start to understanding how the mainstream media distorts the news.
Say what you will about Benjamin Netanyahu, but there’s no doubt he’s bolstering the anti-Zionist cause.
New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman recently said that the two-state solution in Israel/Palestine is, if not already dead, “in hospice.” Now it’s time for news reporters at his paper and other mainstream U.S. media, to look squarely at how and why two states is no longer possible. Instead, the two-state solution is supposedly still the ideal — for the U.S. government, among others. The headline after the U.S. Secretary of State’s arrival in Israel yesterday was, predictably: “Blinken reaffirms need for two-state solution after talks with Netanyahu.”
CNN ignores AIPAC when talking about the “extremists” impacting US politics.
