Barak meets CNN representatives over coverage Prime
Minister Ehud Barak met recently with three representatives of the CNN
network in an effort to clarify claims of slanted and one-sided reportage of
violence in the territories by the US network. Members
of the Prime Minister's Office and the Foreign Ministry were present at the
meeting, the Hebrew daily "Ma'ariv" reports. The
CNN representatives expressed concern at the meeting about reports of
American Jews selling off stock in the parent company, Time-Warner, in
protest over the network's coverage of the current crisis. Jewish
leaders in the US said they were having some success in convincing CNN to
change its reportage on the conflict. In an effort to mollify
critics, CNN recently stopped airing reports from correspondent Rula Amin in
Gaza and ceased referring to the Jerusalem neighborhood of Gilo as a
"settlement." |
