CNN Perpetuates Hezbollah Propaganda

August 18th, 2006 11:52 AM

In a travesty of accurate reporting buried within a CNN story on a controversial video emerging in Lebabon, CNN gives us this happy news:

Hezbollah has pledged that its fighters south of the Litani will disarm.

Not only is that utterly untrue, one can check thousands of wire stories to confirm the obviously false nature of the statement; though Hezbollah might want the world to believe it. Below is only one example. Pick one for yourself ... and consider informing CNN while you're at it. Evidently their web editors haven't read around very much regarding current events in the Middle East.

RAS EN NAQUORA, Lebanon - "Are you dreaming?" was a wizened sergeant's response when asked Thursday whether the Lebanese Army would try to disarm Hezbollah, as called for by a UN-brokered truce between Israel and Hezbollah that began five days ago.

The sergeant's answer produced great guffaws from a small group of soldiers chatting on the stoop of a small building perched on a cliff above the Mediterranean Sea about 300 metres from the so-called Blue Line that is the border with Israel.
