Don't or can't you post from other news sources (neutral), or are you regularly spoon fed from this trash?



Yes, CNN should not even be mentioned here.

Don't tell me.

Let me guess...CNN would be a neutral news source?

I say a picture is worth a thousand words.

MSM has fallen for these fraud PR stunts by Palestinian & other agitators many times over the years. A few years ago I vaguely remember about some Muslim protesters that were parading, carrying a supposed corpsed of a beloved fallen brother around on a gurney. One of the guys carrying it apparently stumbled, maybe had a muscle cramp or something. The 'corpse' fell off the gurney onto the ground, but then the 'corpse' got up, brushed itself off, and hobbled away in pain.

Here's another one.

It Seems the Dead Boy Used as Symbol of Israeli ‘Aggression’ Was Killed by…Hamas (Warning — Graphic Photo)

"Egypt’s Prime Minister Hisham Kandil cried on Friday and kissed the dead child’s forehead, calling him a “martyr.” CNN called him “another victim of an [Israeli] airstrike.” Newspapers showed his photo as an example of the Palestinian civilians killed by Israel’s ongoing military campaign against militants in Gaza.

The only problem with that narrative is that 4-year-old Mahmoud Sadallah was killed by a Hamas rocket that fell short in Gaza instead of its intended target: Israel. According to an Israeli military statement Sunday, “Ninety-nine rockets fired from Gaza have crashed back into Gaza in the last four days. Hamas fires from civilian areas…and hits its own people.”

(See linked article for what the AP, NY Times and the Telegraph said about it.)

Any time there is something happening in the middle east, I go to al jazeera so there isnt any American-Israeli propaganda reporting.
I wouldnt call CNN using fake propoganda when arab media is also reporting this.

Five women, including one 80-year-old, and four small children were among the dead in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood.

At least three children - including an 18-month-old infant - and two women were killed in a air raid east of Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.

Also Israeli bomb a building known to house arab media injuring some.

Those are two good sources as well.

I doubt al jazeera would allow much difference from the arabic version and is known in both languages coverage and is more informative, and less opinion-driven than American journalism.
