CNN Shills for hezbollah

CNN's Octavia Nasr mourns the death of hezbollah "spiritual" leader mohammed hussein fadlallah. Nasr is of Lebanese descent. I'm not sure but I think she is a Christian. Doesn't she realize that people like herself were driven out of Lebanon by islamic jihadists such as fadlallah?

Is it any wonder why CNN's ratings are in the toilet? It would have been unimaginable for American radio or newspaper outlets during WW2 to be sympathetic with the nazis and it certainly would not have been tolerated. Today CNN among other media outlets are not only aiding and abetting these modern day nazi enemies, but are getting away with this treasonous behavior.

CNN's Cheerleader for Hezbollah Honest Reporting

CNN's Senior Editor of Mideast Affairs professes her respect for an extremist sheikh and spiritual father of a terrorist organization.

"Today we lost a merciful father and a wise guide," said Hezbollah's leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, referring to the death of 75 year old Lebanese Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah, seen as one of the original spiritual guides of the terrorist organization.
But Fadlallah was being mourned by a far more surprising source - CNN's Senior Editor of Mideast Affairs, Octavia Nasr, who Tweeted the following on her personal page:



HonestReporting has previously exposed a former CNN employee who let her personal politics influence her professional life. In that case, former CNN producer Nidal Rafa, a Palestinian, was videoed haranguing current Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon at a media event. Rafa crossed the line from media professional to agenda driven activist, breaching professional media standards and blatantly exposing her personal politics.

In this latest case involving CNN, Octavia Nasr's Lebanese background should not, in itself, be an impediment to maintaining high journalistic standards. However, we have to question these standards when she expresses her respect for Fadlallah, whom she describes as one of "Hezbollah's giants".

Is Nasr a Hezbollah sympathizer? This is disturbing enough given that the group is designated a terrorist organization by the US and is committed to the destruction of Israel. And which of Fadlallah's individual views does Nasr admire?

Is it Fadlallah's praise for the massacre of eight Israeli students at Mercaz Ha-Rav Yeshiva in Jerusalem on March 6, 2008? Or perhaps it was the fatwa (religious opinion) to the suicide bomber who attacked the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut in 1983. Fadlallah supported the seizure and hostage-taking at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979, backed suicide bombing attacks in 2002, and praised Iran's efforts to build long-range missiles as the "pride of the Islamic world" in 2008.
