CNN: TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH ABOUT VICTIMS OF TERROR!

CNN (Cable News Network LP, LLLP.) has bowed to political and financial 
pressure from Israel and its supporters in the US after the recent comments 
made by Ted Turner on the situation in the Middle-East. CNN has responded by 
producing a five-part documentary series called Victims of Terror. The 
program considers ONLY Israelis to be victims of terrorism. CNN has also 
developed extensive on-line resources about Israeli victims that notably 
ignore the innocent deaths on the Palestinian side. Palestinian deaths rate 
no mention.

According to the Palestine Red Crescent Society in a report released 
6/24/02, there has been a total of 1,626 Palestinian deaths, and 19, 549 
injuries since September of 2000. Of those killed directly by Israeli 
attacks more than 234 have been under the age of 18.

CNN has compromised the most basic journalistic standard of BALANCE. Are
Palestinians lesser humans? Do not Palestinians bleed too?

CNN News MUST be honest and fair. CNN must cover Palestinian victims of
Israeli attacks by immediately providing its viewers:

** A full and complete tally of every single Palestinian child, woman, and 
elderly man killed by the Israeli army and settlers.

** A five-part series on the Palestinian victims of terror.

DEMONSTRATE FOR FAIR AND HONEST COVERAGE OF THE WAR ON PALESTINE

WE DEMAND EQUAL COVERAGE FOR ALL VICTIMS

Bring your friends, neighbors, and family. CNN must understand we are its 
public and we will not stand by silently.

Directions: From I-75/85, exit on International Blvd. exit (248 C), turn
