The first sign of trouble was with Dennis Prager's show. He started railing on CNN for the piece they ran with the Hezbollah spokesman giving a guided tour (To Nick Robertson) of what remained of a supposed residential complex. Oh, the outcry. Prager was saying that TV News had lost its mind.
Then Hugh Hewitt started (middled and ended) his show with the "Crescent News Network's" (Yoni's words) airing of propoganda from Hezbollah. He claimed that all the people at CNN had suffered a "Massive stroke" by allowing a terrorist organization to give them a tour.
Yes, Hezbollah is a terrorist organization. Yes, terrorists can state facts.
The fact is that it appeared to be a residential apartment complex.
CNN labeled the tourguide as a "Hezbollah Spokesman." They didn't try and fool anybody. Why can't the people get all the facts and decide for themselves? At least CNN puts both sides' arguments on the table for all to see. At least they're fair and balanced unlike some.....
This (USA) country has become so reflexive/conservative that even allowing the other side's viewpoint is a sin (Remember this is good v evil).
