Ben Wedeman: and the standards of CNN
Today, Ben Wedeman did a report on the Palestinian civilians in Gaza. He told their story, which is rarely told in the US media. And to be fair: he ended the report by saying what the Israeli military said about bombing the house in which people were evacuated. Yet, CNN did not think that his fair report was up to the biased standards of US media: so the anchorwoman uncharacteristically followed his report by a rehash of Israeli military propaganda claims to the effect that the murder of Palestinian children is indeed justifiable.
