CNN has finally found out about the ‘ticking tunnel’ raid two months ago. This was the breach of the ceasefire by the Israeli government that led to retaliation by Hamas. Rick Sanchez had to have staff research the raid to verify that it happened. When they came back with the answer, yes, he is shocked. He goes so far as to suggest that maybe culpability is not so clear. What this means in plain English is that the egregious nature of Israel’s disregard for humanity has reached such heights that a major supporter is forced to admit incompetence. How else can it be explained. The raid was reported at the time it happened, which Sanchez admits. Therefore CNN is incompetent. It makes me think back to my previous post ‘Heralds of Interesting Times’ and ask again is it bias or stupidity. God help us all in a world where straight teeth and a square jaw are more important qualifications for a news anchor than intelligence.
You may have noticed that I have added some links on my sidebar under the Palestine category and also under News recently pertaining to the Middle East. I hope you will check out some of these. Stay informed. Do what you can do to help. Counterbalancing the weight of disinformation coming out of the mainstream media is more important that donating but give if you can to those links that ask. Make sure your friends, family and political leaders know where you stand. Make ‘Never again!’ a real commitment.
