CNN Guest Rips Media For Being 'Used As Dupes' By Hamas
NewsBusters.org ^ | August 4, 2014 | Connor Williams

In a surprising segment, CNN’s New Day discussed the role of the media in the Israel-Hamas conflict and whether they are providing proper context regarding the two sides. In an interview with co-host Kate Bolduan, guest Lee Habeeb, columnist for National Review, slammed the media for its biased coverage of the issue. In fact, in a recent piece for NRO, Habeeb went so far as to claim that the media have acted as "co-conspirators" to Hamas.

Exactly. These reporters on-scene know what is going on and they stand there and lie, lie, lie

CNN and MSNBC have always been Pro Hamas..CNN in 2006 accused Israel of the same “War crimes” when they were fighting Lebanon, but had NO problem when Israeli’s were being slaughtered on buses in suicide bombings. Liberals have something in common with Hamas, both hate America, both hate Jews

In Vietnam the VC had gone into a village after the people were all vaccinated and cut the villager’s vaccinated arms off. A special forces Green Beret asked why the news photographer with them was not taking pictures. The photographer said, “I’m not here to help you with your propaganda. I’m here to help the people.” The media started whoring for communism around that time and they’ve gotten more in-bed since.

I remember the night Walter Cronkite said something like, “the war is unwinnable.” I thought, oh my goodness, he’s just plunged a knife into the soldier’s backs. It was the first time I recall noticing the bias in the news. I was in junior high. I haven’t watched the news or read a CNN article since OJ.

CNN has really been in the tank for Hamas. They have some “correspondent” in Gaza who is openly cheering the terrorists.

The reporters on the ground see what is happening and refuse to report the facts,

The troops won the war. It was Walter Cronkite and the rest of the media, plus the politicians who lost the war.

BTW my husband served two tours in Vietnam and he volunteered for both. I am thankful he made it home safe both times

In a sane world run by sane people, those 2 cowardly bastards hiding their faces as they hide behind innocents would be turned to swiss cheese on sight.

Muslim terrorists are like snakes. The only good one is a dead one. Israel has my full support and I pray each day that God grants them total victory over this mob of murdering thugs.

From the Hamas Covenant:
Introduction: ...Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it" (The Martyr, Imam Hassan al-Banna, of blessed memory).

Article Fifteen:

The day that enemies usurp part of Moslem land, Jihad becomes the individual duty of every Moslem. In face of the Jews' usurpation of Palestine, it is compulsory that the banner of Jihad be raised...

It is necessary that scientists, educators and teachers, information and media people, as well as the educated masses, especially the youth and sheikhs of the Islamic movements, should take part in the operation of awakening (the masses). It is important that basic changes be made in the school curriculum, to cleanse it of the traces of ideological invasion that affected it as a result of the orientalists and missionaries who infiltrated the region following the defeat of the Crusaders at the hands of Salah el-Din (Saladin)...

Article Thirty-Two:

World Zionism, together with imperialistic powers, try through a studied plan and an intelligent strategy to remove one Arab state after another from the circle of struggle against Zionism, in order to have it finally face the Palestinian people only. Egypt was, to a great extent, removed from the circle of the struggle, through the treacherous Camp David Agreement. They are trying to draw other Arab countries into similar agreements and to bring them outside the circle of struggle.

The Islamic Resistance Movement calls on Arab and Islamic nations to take up the line of serious and persevering action to prevent the success of this horrendous plan, to warn the people of the danger eminating from leaving the circle of struggle against Zionism. Today it is Palestine, tomorrow it will be one country or another. The Zionist plan is limitless. After Palestine, the Zionists aspire to expand from the Nile to the Euphrates. When they will have digested the region they overtook, they will aspire to further expansion, and so on. Their plan is embodied in the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion", and their present conduct is the best proof of what we are saying....

Article Thirty-Four:

Palestine is the navel of the globe and the crossroad of the continents. Since the dawn of history, it has been the target of expansionists. The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him salvation, had himself pointed to this fact in the noble Hadith in which he called on his honourable companion, Ma'adh ben-Jabal, saying: O Ma'ath, Allah throw open before you, when I am gone, Syria, from Al-Arish to the Euphrates. Its men, women and slaves will stay firmly there till the Day of Judgement. Whoever of you should choose one of the Syrian shores, or the Holy Land, he will be in constant struggle till the Day of Judgement."
