i find your CNN cite odd, because CNN was also criticized for repeatedly showing Lebanese casualties while ignoring Israeli ones. Then there was the execreble interview with Miri Eisen by that Brit CNN reporter, who got all her facts wrong, and acted more like the Lord High Inquisitor than a journalist trying to get info (talk about naked bias!) but Miri let her get away with it. (If anybody has a video of Palestinian spokespeople saying I'm sorry the PA is doing all it can to minimize casualties I'm sorry the PA is doing all it can to minimize casualties I'm sorry the PA is doing all it can to minimize casualties, I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry... I'd love to see it.) BBC is bad. CNN, NYTimes etc are more subtle but also bad. Plenty of data on this. "I also got tired of all the annoying adds telling me all Christians should dial a certain number abd pledge financial support to Israel in its hour of need." pledge ads are annoying in general. Most Christian support of Israel is based on appreciation of Jesus as a Jew, and of understanding that the terrorism and delegitimization of Jewish roots in Israel threatens Christians as well. So good for them, but hold the annoying pledge ads.
