CNN Doesn't Recognize Nazareth as "Holy City"

Posted on 07/19/2006 9:13:01 AM PDT by auzerais

Anyone notice this morning that while both FoxNews and even MSNBC are refering to the attacks on Nazareth as on the "Holy City of Nazareth", CNN Does NOT?! Coincidence? I don't think so. For years every so-called islamic 'holy city' in Iraq and Iran have been referenced as such to soothe islamic sensibilities, but when it comes to a Christian Holy City, Nazareth the home of Jesus Christ, CNN, led by Christian-hater Ted Turner, omits such reference. Isn't it time CNN heard from Christians all over the world protesting their pro-islamic anti-Christian bias????

To CNN Sodom and Gomorrah and Hollywood are probably "Holy Cities", maybe Mecca and Medina too.

The Ted Turner culture of disdain for anything religious rules at the Clinton News Network.

Unless that said religion is Islam that is.

Every city should be thus labelled. The 9-11 attacks on the Holy Cities of Manhattan and Arlington, the attacks on the transit systems in the Holy Cities of London, Madrid, Mumbai, etc.

Given the rather low bar set to determine what makes a city "holy," these cities have as much right to the honorific as any.

Liberals are "Godless." I just finished reading Ann Coulter's book, and would be surprised if CNN allowed any reference to religion to make iot to the airways.

Well it doesn't hold the same place in their hearts and minds as the Holy City of Mecca does. < /sarc >

They refer to Qom, Iran, as the "Holy City of Qom" in this article.The reference is right next to the picture of Khatami.

I think CNN is now owned by Time Warner. And you must realize that CNN and CNN International are anti-American and pro terrorist or pro anybody that is an enemy of the American People.

That's interesting because the people who live there recognize it. The tourism it brings in keeps them alive. They've had a hard time more recently...

CNN, oh yeah, that was the news agency that admitted it covered up reports of abuse and torture under Saddam's regime to maintain their Baghdad bureau.

Antiamerican commies, anything else you need to know?
