HonestReporting member John Wolberg complained to CNN, and received the following reply from Eason Jordan, CNN's chief of international newsgathering:
From: "Jordan, Eason" (
Eason.Jordan@turner.com)
Dear Mr. Wolberg:
The CNN.com report to which you refer contained factual errors, errors in omission, and inadequate context, and has been corrected.
Shortcomings in reporting are no more acceptable to me than they should be to consumers of news reporting. My colleagues and I may be imperfect but we most certainly are not anti-Jewish or anti-Israeli. The vast majority of CNN's Mideast reporting is as we intend all of CNN's reporting to be: accurate, balanced, fair and responsible.
Thank you for your note.
