Media Bias at the worst. Candy Crawly of CNN pulling for Barack Hussein Obama and covering for him on a question about Benghazi.
Awful. At the Hofstra Presidential Debate Candy Crowley jumped in to defend Barck Obama. Crowley said Obama called the Benghazi massacre a terror attack in Rose Garden the day after the slaughter.
He didn’t.
And five days later, despite having video of the massacre, the Obama Administration pushed the lie that it was a protest gone bad.
Not just Media Bias, but the fact that CNN is one of the official propaganda mills for the Obama Regime.
Yesterday was Yom Yerushaleyim, Jerusalem Day. The day the city of Jerusalem was reunited after 19 years of being separated in 2. Between the years 1948 and 1967, 19 years, Jordan control the Old City of Jerusalem. And Jordan violated every agreement that was arraigned for Jews and Christians to visit their holy sites. In fact the Jordanian Army destroyed every synagogue and even built latrines along the Kotel (Western Wall). Jordanian men and so-called Palestinians lined up to urinate along this holy site. (They now claim it as their own. They said Muhammad [May He Rot In Hell] peed there or something like that.) Hundreds of Jewish families who had lived in what the Media calls "Arab East Jerusalem" fled for their lives and were not able to return to their homes for 19 years. Yet the media continues the lie that the city needs to be cut in half.
“We will protect Jerusalem, because Israel without Jerusalem is like a body without a heart,” the prime minister said. “On this hill, 45 years ago, the united heart of our people began to beat again, with full power. Our heart will never be divided again.”
One city, never divided.
It is with that in mind that Honest Reporting has produced the following video:
The history of Jerusalem did not start in 1967. Thousands of years of Jewish history took place in what is now called "Arab East Jerusalem."
Only when the Jewish residents were driven from their homes in 1948 was the city divided between East and West.

This article from Family Security Matters deals with how CNN fired all Jewish journalists last week but retained all Arab journalists in its Jerusalem bureau - providing more fuel for the fire that CNN's all too well know Arab bias to their reporting in the Middle East would reach a new level of slant. We have to remember that it's been the likes of CNN who traditionally has covered any situation in Israel or Gaza or the West Bank with a propaganda like bias for the so-called Palestinians.....we've all seen the simulated scenes of Pali casualties with 100% healthy children being carried from ambulances into hospitals, for example.
So now, CNN has made the decision that there will only be Arab journalists covering any stories out of the Jerusalem bureau - oh boy....we outta seem some real reporting out of the region now, huh?
Cable Nazi Network
It was first reported on the Dreuz Info website last Thursday February 9. The article “CNN Israel fired all Jewish journalists” stated in the first paragraph,
It is likely to provoke a wave of shock and indignation within the North American media industry, and it certainly will not calm down the controversy over the pro-palestinian CNN treatment of the conflict.
The article went on to explain,
What goes beyond good management is that CNN has fired four Israeli Jewish journalists (out of a crew of 8), and has retained only Arab journalists. Where, until now, CNN always sent a Jewish and an Arab journalist to cover information, now there will be only an Arab journalist. The local chief editor of the News Chanel is now Arabic.
An update added to the article listed the names of those fired and their positions,
Update at 8:30 PST: we just received the names of the four journalists that were fired: Moshe Cohen, editor, fired on january 30, 10 years with CNN. Izi Landberg, Producer, about 25 years with CNN, fired on January 30. Avi Kaner cameraman fired on january 30, 10 years with CNN. Michal Zippori desk producer, situation still unclear.
The story went viral and was re-posted on every Pro-Israel and Anti-Jihad site with each publication simply placing the original article from Dreuz or quoting the original article. Some of those placed a paragraph or two above the story venting their frustration and anger, but no matter how much I searched I couldn’t find any other story confirming the original story.
Those that are regular readers of mine know that I treat every story with a grain of Middle Eastern sand and like to triple and quadruple check everything before I state it as fact. So, as usual, check with the source. Where better to check out a story about CNN, then on CNN?
CNN reported the story as false, but the wording of their statement was questionable to say the least,
CNN Statement on Jerusalem Bureau Rumors that CNN is only employing Arabs in its Jerusalem Bureau are completely false. There are Israeli Jews working in CNN’s Jerusalem bureau. The bureau chief, Kevin Flower, is not Arab as some have speculated. We strongly reject any suggestion that the reorganization in the Jerusalem bureau is in any way based on the small number of contract employees concerned being Israeli, particularly given CNN’s long history of working with locals in the region.
The original article stated that all “Jewish journalists” had been fired, is CNN playing word games?
Yes, there may very well be Israeli Jews working in the CNN Jerusalem bureau, but are any of them “journalists” or do they have an Israeli working the door as security?
Also, nowhere did I see any reports claiming that bureau chief, Kevin Flower was an Arab. Yet CNN felt it necessary to state “The bureau chief, Kevin Flower, is not Arab as some have speculated”.
Perhaps that was due to the wording of the original story on Dreuze and perhaps their wording was misleading. Allow me to explain, there are many Arabs that are Jewish, just as there are Arab Christians and Arab Muslims.
Did CNN fire all Jews and only retain those that were not? CNN does not deny that Kevin Flower is not Jewish; they only state that he is not an Arab. Just another play on words when you read the CNN statement.
But let’s look at the CNN Jerusalem office for a moment. According to a CNN press release, the Jerusalem Bureau first opened in 1983. Kevin Flower had been the Baghdad Bureau Chief and was appointed Bureau Chief of the Jerusalem bureau on January 3, 2009.
What happened to those who held the position before Flower? Mike Hanna comes to mind, he was the CNN Jerusalem Bureau Chief and went to… Wait for it… Al-Jazeera. According to Al-Jazeera,
Mike Hanna (Doha) is a journalist with more than 25 years' experience of reporting from the world's hot spots; formerly, Mike was CNN's Jerusalem bureau chief, supervising and leading the network's ongoing coverage of the dramatic events in the region.
Mike Hanna is just one example, a great example at that, of CNN bias towards Israel. But it goes much farther than a previous Jerusalem bureau chief moving to Al-Jazeera.
If you bother to watch CNN and their reporting from Israel, to say it is slanted would be an understatement. CNN doesn’t use subliminal messages, no, they just slant the stories. When reporting on Jewish settlements they refer to them as “illegal” Jewish settlements. Often they refer to parts of Israel as “Palestine”.
There is no doubt about bias in the media, we have all witnessed it and I have written about extensively, but for CNN to fire all “Jewish” journalists from an office located in the ‘Jewish State’ seems to go back to the Nazi era of “Juden verboten” (Jews forbidden).
Yeah, anti-Semitism isn’t on the rise, it’s all just our over active imagination, but I wonder, will CNN bother to release the names of those that are Jewish who are still employed in their Jerusalem office since that would be the easiest way to put the story of bias to rest?
I doubt it, I’ll be waiting, but I won’t be holding my breath, I look really bad in blue.
Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force!
You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of
Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.
Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well
equipped and battle hardened. He will fight savagely.
But this is the year 1944! Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to Victory!
I have full confidence in your courage and devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory!
Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.
SIGNED: Dwight D. Eisenhower
D-Day 6/6/44
The way today's media would tell the story:
NORMANDY, FRANCE (June 6, 1944)-- Three hundred French civilians were killed and thousands more were wounded today in the first hours of America's invasion of continental Europe. Casualties were heaviest among women and children. Most of the French casualties were the result of artillery fire from American ships attempting to knock out German fortifications prior to the landing of hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops. Reports from a makeshift hospital in the French town of St. Mere Eglise said the carnage was far worse than the French had anticipated, and that reaction against the American invasion was running high. "We are dying for no reason, "said a Frenchman speaking on condition of anonymity. "Americans can't even shoot straight. I never thought I'd say this, but life was better under Adolph Hitler."
The invasion also caused severe environmental damage. American troops, tanks, trucks and machinery destroyed miles of pristine shoreline and thousands of acres of ecologically sensitive wetlands. It was believed that the habitat of the spineless French crab was completely wiped out, thus threatening the species with extinction. A representative of Green Peace said his organization, which had tried to stall the invasion for over a year, was appalled at the destruction, but not surprised. "This is just another example of how the military destroys the environment without a second thought," said Christine Moanmore. "And it's all about corporate greed."
Contacted at his Manhattan condo, a member of the French government-in-exile who abandoned Paris when Hitler invaded, said the invasion was based solely on American financial interests. "Everyone knows that President Roosevelt has ties to 'big beer'," said Pierre LeWimp. "Once the German beer industry is conquered, Roosevelt's beer cronies will control the world market and make a fortune."
Administration supporters said America's aggressive actions were based in part on the assertions of controversial scientist Albert Einstein, who sent a letter to Roosevelt speculating that the Germans were developing a secret weapon -- a so-called "atomic bomb". Such a weapon could produce casualties on a scale never seen before, and cause environmental damage that could last for thousands of years. Hitler has denied having such a weapon and international inspectors were unable to locate such weapons even after spending two long weekends in Germany. Shortly after the invasion began, reports surfaced that German prisoners had been abused by American soldiers. Mistreatment of Jews by Germans at their so-called "concentration camps" has been rumored, but so far this remains unproven.
Several thousand Americans died during the first hours of the invasion, and French officials are concerned that the uncollected corpses will pose a public-health risk. "The Americans should have planned for this in advance," they said. "It's their mess, and we don't intend to help clean it up."
This is an example of what reporting has become. Patriotism and truth are out. Multiculturalism and propaganda are in. It is fashionable to be anti-American and anti-Semitic.
I prefer the first view, the truth to the way CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, Washington Post or any other of the idiotic Moonbats in the Media would spin this story. Strangely it appears to have the same spin as their stories from and about Israel does.
66 years ago my father and others of the "GreatestGeneration" fought, killed, died and rescued Europe from a madman named Hitler. Today the people of Europe have forgotten their sacrifice, and condemn the US for what we did for them.
Perhaps the next time they need to be rescued, we say NO!
One sometimes wonder what the Media is thinking when they condemn Israel and support Hamas. It is a fact that the Media has a bias towards the left and have never praised Israel in the last 20 years, it is refreshing to see that one member of the Media gets it right.
It is good to see that the truth is finally getting out to the public, that they lies are not going unchallenged, that PalArabs cannot just make statements without proof.
