Hen Keinan:
"CNN Interview About My Murdered Daughter Turned Into a Show About the Terrorist's MotherAmalia Argaman-Barnea Correspondent, Yediot Aharonot

The parents of the infant Sinai Keinan, who was murdered last week in the terror attack in Petah Tikva, were interviewed last week on CNN, and tearfully told the story of their loss.
When they later viewed the program, they said they were alarmed to see that instead of their story, only the mother of the terrorist who carried out the terror attack appeared on the program.
Last Friday Hen Keinan and her husband Lior were asked to be interviewed on the CNN program called "International Hour". This is a program that is broadcast in many countries all over the world. They were asked to talk about their feelings following the murder of their 14 month old infant daughter, Sinai, and Hen's mother, Ruti Peled, 56, who was also killed in the terror attack. Hen, who speaks English well, and her husband Lior, already prepared at the hospital, very carefully, the message they wished to convey to the world, and "especially to the Europeans who give legitimacy to terror."
Before the taped interview began, Hen was asked to speak, in a live broadcast, to an American broadcast of the network, and among other things, she said: "We love you. Help us as much as you can".
Afterwards the two went for a special interview. The journalist who interviewed them, asked Hen, among other things: "How do you feel"? And she responded with a question: "Do you have a mother? Do you have children"? "Close your eyes for a minute and imagine that they were murdered in front of your eyes. Only then will you know in what hell I live". Her husband, Lior, showed the journalist the broken parts of Sinai's baby carriage, and all the members of the broadcast team shed tears.
"That same evening", related Hen painfully, "We sat down to watch the special interview with us, and instead, to our amazement, we got only the interview with the mother of the terrorist who carried out the terror attack in which my daughter and mother were murdered".
The terrorist's mother related during the interview, among other things, that before he left on his mission, she gave him her blessings.
"Only the day after were portions of my interview broadcast, in another program, with my statements having been edited", related Hen last night on the Israeli TV show, Documedia. She said that the special interview with her was not even broadcast. She expressed anger about the "unfair and unprofessional" treatment by CNN. Hen said that she expects that in wake of this, the Israeli Foreign Ministry would remove foreign journalists from Israel, as they serve the Palestinian public relations goals. CNN had made no comment to make.

Bull-Crap !!
Bull-Crap !!

this is pure hysterical ranting by the most reactionary newspaper in Israel, if indeed they did bring themselves to publish such idiocy. Try Ha'aretz for a change.

The long-standing and verifiable record of CNN as a veritable spraygun of US and Zionist propaganda is hardly reversed by this contrived example of bias in the other direction. It's not known as 'CIA News Network' for nothing, you know.

Still free-lancing for Mossad's agit-prop department then, Dov, me old mate? You're not very good at this, are you? Small wonder they don't pay for your labours!

Here's a small test for your stutter, my friend:

try to spell the words 'I N T E R N A T I O N A L L A W' without choking yourself on them - you'll probably find it about as easy as it is for a vampire to gargle a garlic mouthwash

However, if you managed it, well, a big pat on the back and try not to swallow - now you just need to work out what this alien concept means, then apply it to your Palestinian Problems, and Voila - say what problem?

If you're too dumb to do this, then very soon we're going to have to send the Krauts down there to kick some serious humanitarian ass!

For sundry Death-Threats and suchlike, just join the queue - I'm booked-out solid with stonings 'til the end of the month!

Shalom, 'ol buddy!

Sod-off, Dov

you've got to be kidding me. CNN's coverage of the last palestinian attack on a bus didn't even mention the fact that the victims were fucking soldiers - legitimate targets. open your fucking eyes and don't swallow that zionist crap.

who CARES what the bias is ?

when will people be mature enough to understand that 'bias' is merely an opinion being propagated which you do not share. serious reportage, so long as its honest, should always make its bias clear !
in fact, striving for a non existent impartiality [as for eg the BBC] is a myth. no point. i disagree with the israeli position, and when i read the israeli newspapers, why should i expect them to cater for my bias ? bit naieve really..
