Peter Jennings: Majette Got Money from “Supporters of Israel” (no mention of Arab/Muslim money for McKinney)In reporting the results of the Georgia congressional primaries, Peter Jennings mimicked the anti-Jewish mantra of the most vociferous supporters of incumbent Democratic Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, who lost to challenger Denise Majette. Jennings pointed out that McKinney "was beaten by another Democrat who got large donations from out-of-state supporters of Israel," but he failed to acknowledge that most of McKinney's donations came from Muslims or Arabs outside of the district, some of whom support terrorism or have ties to groups which fund it.
One, the Washington Post reported, once declared: "Let us damn America, let us damn Israel. Let us damn their allies until death."
Jennings also skipped over how McKinney had marginalized herself by claiming that President Bush knew in advance of the September 11th terrorist attacks. Instead of describing her as an Arab supporter, he distorted her affection for the radical Muslim and Palestinian causes by depicting her only as "a vocal critic of President Bush's Middle East policy."
On the August 21 World News Tonight, Jennings read this short item about the Tuesday election results: "In Georgia, two very different outspoken members of Congress lost their jobs in yesterday's political primaries. Republican Bob Barr was the first Congressman to call for President Clinton's impeachment. And Democrat Cynthia McKinney was a vocal critic of President Bush's Middle East policy. She was beaten by another Democrat who got large donations from out-of-state supporters of Israel."
Over on the CBS Evening News, John Roberts managed to note McKinney's outlandish claim about Bush while not offering fears about the role of supporters of Israel: "Primary voters in Georgia have muffled two outspoken, high-profile members of the U.S. House of Representatives. Four-term Republican firebrand Bob Barr, a vocal leader in the campaign to impeach President Clinton, lost almost two-to-one to another Republican incumbent, John Linder, in a redrawn district. And five-term Democrat Cynthia McKinney was ousted by a relative political unknown. McKinney created a storm by suggesting President Bush may have known in advance about the September 11th attacks."
The August 21 NBC Nightly News didn't mention the primary results.
In Wednesday's Washington Post, reporter Edward Walsh filled in the half of the story ignored by Jennings, noting how both Majette and McKinney received lots of out-of-state money: "Jewish donors and pro-Israel organizations from around the country poured money into Majette's campaign, while most of McKinney's contributions came from donors with Muslim or Arab surnames who live outside the district."
And some of those McKinney donors support terrorism, reporter Thomas Edsall recounted in the August 13 Washington Post. An excerpt:
The reelection campaign of Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.) has received campaign contributions from at least 18 donors who are either officers of Muslim foundations under investigation by the FBI, have voiced support for Palestinian and Lebanese terrorist organizations or have made inflammatory statements about Jews.END of ExcerptQuestions about the donors' backgrounds mark the latest twist in a House race heavily funded by outside groups interested in the Israeli-Palestinian struggle. Most of McKinney's money has come from non-district residents with Muslim or Arab surnames. Her Democratic challenger, former state judge Denise Majette, is heavily funded by Jews living outside Georgia....
McKinney's backers include:
-- Abduraham Alamoudi, a board member of the American Muslim Council, who declared at a White House demonstration in October 2000, "We are all supporters of Hamas," or Islamic Resistance Movement, a principle sponsor of suicide bombings in Israel.-- Many of the officers of a network of foundations and business, most based in Herndon, Va., that were raided by federal officials in mid-March. Federal investigators have been trying to determine how these groups raised and spent at least $1.7 billion.
-- Sami Al-Arian, a Florida professor whose past videotaped remarks include: "Let us damn America, let us damn Israel. Let us damn their allies until death," and "Victory to Islam, death to Israel."...

Where has ole' Reg been lately? I miss his weekend comic pieces.
I look at that statement and I'm thinking, "So? Is this a bad thing?"
LOL...Only in the very muddled minds of Peter Jennings and his pals.
I sold my TV to Pawn American a few months ago. Wanna know what happened? Nothing. I dont even think about it and I have more time. Want to hurt Jennings? Get rid of your soma box.
