When you're a news organization, chances are pretty good that you have liberal views. But if you're a reporter for a liberal news station, you are not excused from reporting honestly, giving all the facts that both support as well as refute your claims, and letting the public decide. Hey, you're CNN--what do you have to lose anyway, your 455 viewers?
Recently, CNN aired a piece of shamfully bad reporting on "Keeping Them Honest." I cannot imagine who is keeping Anderson "they punched me ten times in the face right in Tahrir Square--I'm such a pussy" Cooper honest. but he sure isn't doing it. I am referring to the smear-job they did on Walid Shoebat, an Islamic jihadist who saw the error of his ways and became a Christian who now helps people in Islamic countries obtain freedom.
Before discussing Walid Shoebat, I would like to mention an article in Jihad Watch, run by Robert Spencer. He discussed how Kerry Rubin, an Anderson Cooper assistant, approached him, ostensibly to ask if he would be interested in providing information for their show "Keeping Them Honest." Rubin said she wanted Robert to talk about issues regarding jihad and Islam. Spencer, knowing Cooper's leftist leanings, was suspicious and terse with the questions he was asked by her, especially when she began asking about his recent work with the military, how it's funded, etc. When Rubin saw that Spencer wasn't about to go for the bait, she said that she had another call that she must take and would get back to him--she was lying--something the left does all the time, but as long as they aren't hypocrites about it, there's no problem for them. She never called him back.
In response to what occurred on CNN with Walid Shoebat, a friend of Spencer's, he printed a letter written by Joel Richardson, another friend and coworker of Walid Shoebat, entitled: "CNN's Anderson Cooper is a fraud, Walid Shoebat is not." The letter discussed the CNN ambushing. In a report by Drew Griffin, a CNN crack reporter (you can define 'crack' more ways than one) tried to ambush Walid Shoebat on three points.
First, he claimed that Walid did not use his Foundation's funds to actually rescue Christians from Islamic oppression. Somehow he made it up, he is lying, and that's that. The reason they say this has to be so is because Walid refused to reveal how much money was involved--when this clown asked that question, he answered, "That is none of your business." Just because Walid was correct by telling him it was none of his business, and knowing that CNN would use anything he said to ambush him, he rufused to reveal the funding, which was simply good thinking. Of course, CNN tried to imply that he misused the money from his Foundation because he wouldn't tell Griffin the details.
The second point was that Walid lied when he said that he spent time in the Mascubia prison. They was certain he was lying because a fourth cousin of Walid's told them it was a lie. Had they vetted this fourth cousin, they would have discovered he was also related to two well-known terrorists and had good reasons to discredit him. Had they even looked deeper into the situation, they would have found that an even closer relative, a guy who was trying to discredit him three years prior to this, admitted he had been in this prison because at the time the video was made, this wasn't the "damning" issue they were discussing.
Lastly, they said he never was involved with bombing the Bethlehem branch of Bank Leumi because they called the bank and this supposedly didn't happen. When it was learned that the Bethlehem branch no longer exists, Cooper and Griffin said they spoke with the Tel Aviv branch. Of course this branch had no records of the Bethlehem branch, so that's nonsense too. Finally, in order not to look like a the team from Dumb and Dumber, they said they spoke to the Israeli Police station in Bethlehem. Unfortunately, there is no Israeli Police station in Bethlehem. Also, if they bothered to go to the same information given by the closer relative who actually had an axe to grind (literally), three years prior to this report, they would have heard him mention the fact that Walid was known to place a few "parcels behind the bank" from time-to-time. But CNN has its own agenda, and truth isn't on the list.
I have recently learned that CNN plans to do a "full expose" of "Islamophobia," a term made up by Islamists to shame the west into believing that we are racists and are phobic against Islam. It isn't a phobia if it isn't irrational. Americans are very sensitive to being labelled a 'racist.' Nobody wants to be thought of that way, which is why Islamists invented this term, and why if a non-Muslim calls you a racist, he or she is probably a liberal.
So anyway, here we have another mainstream media story that is full of lies, poor research, or worse, pure deception, and a television network that too many Americans believe is telling the truth. This is even true about the Daily Show, where most young liberals get their "news." After all, if it's on TV as news, it must be true. You need to see this video about CNN and their lies--it's 8 minutes long and well-worth the time investment. If you're concerned, like any good American would be, you might just tune out CNN, or at least learn to question what is being told as truth. The mainstream media is in trouble, and it's all their fault. People are not as gullible as they believe, and they are getting their news from the blogs, online media, and hopefully they are looking at both sides of the issues. Americans are smarter than they give us credit for--Soros and his socialist colleagues think they have us all fooled, but that only makes them the real fools. America will prevail.
