Until CNN is honest about the genocidal crusade of Iran and its proxy terrorist groups, the network’s audience will fail to comprehend the motivations of the parties to the conflict. One side seeks to erase the Jewish state from existence, while the other side refuses to lie down and die.
Some do a better job at informing readers of Nasrallah’s reign of terror and destruction, others do worse, but few are as egregiously distorted as CNN's obituary.
CAMERA's Israel office yesterday prompts correction of a Los Angeles Times letter-to-the-editor which fabricated that Lebanese civilians not affiliated with Hezbollah had purchased the exploding pagers.
Hezbollah has an ace up its sleeve. As CAMERA tells the Washington Examiner, the terrorist group is counting on the press for help in their war against Israel.
As CAMERA tells the Washington Examiner: history is clear, land swaps don't appease Islamist terrorists. Rather, they embolden them. And the reason is simple: Hezbollah wants more than mere parcels of land, it wants Israel's destruction
Iran and its proxies are likely to appreciate a New York Times report on Iran and its proxies, since it embraces the language of the terrorists axis of resistance.
But they are also aimed at history. If factual news reports on the pager and walkie-talkie attacks are the first rough draft of history, then revisionism by less scrupulous journalists are a malicious attempt at a second draft.
AP's initial misreporting downplayed Hezbollah attacks targeting Israeli civilians and also obscured Hezbollah losses. Hundreds of thousands of Israelis sought shelter from Hezbollah attacks, not thousands. Previous Hezbollah barrages did not mainly aim at military targets. And Hezbollah lost 16 top members -- not just one -- in Friday's Beirut strike.
As the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah escalates, it’s important that tax-payer funded NPR be clear in every report not only about who the aggressor is, but also who exactly Hezbollah is.
UPDATE: CAMERA prompts correction after Reuters' James Mackenzie and Ali Sawafta significantly understate the number of Israeli and foreigners killed in Palestinian and Hezbollah attacks.
