JERUSALEM-In response to uproar from angry viewers and a media watchdog report, CNN advertisers have distanced themselves from a special series that aired last week entitled "God's Warriors," produced and anchored by the network's chief international correspondent, Christiane Amanpour.The Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America called an episode of the series that focused on Judaism "one of the most grossly distorted programs" ever aired on mainstream American television. The financial company Raymond James' Investor Relations complained to CNN that one of its commercials ran during the Jewish section of the program, titled "God's Jewish Warriors." The company said it was not aware its ad would be aired during the program and requested "no further airing of our commercials in any re-broadcast of the series." Martha Craft, assistant vice president of public relations for Orkin, which also advertised on the CNN program, slammed Amanpour's documentary as "offensive" and said her company would not purchase any ad time if the network re-aired the series."We had purchased advertising that was supposed to air on 'Larry King Live' on Aug. 21. CNN changed programming to air 'God's Jewish Warriors' without notifying us ahead of time to obtain our approval-which is against our agreement with the network," stated Craft."We have discussed this with CNN, and they are aware of the severity of their mistake. I am told that 'God's Jewish Warriors' was (part of) a three-part special which has concluded; however, Orkin has added it to our 'do not buy' list ('of offensive shows where we do not allow our ads to run'), should it re-air in the future," she said.CAMERA said letters and calls from angry viewers prompted the swift response from advertisers. The media watchdog asked viewers to continue complaining to companies that advertised on "Gods Warriors," including Intel, Brink's Home Security, Verizon Wireless, Circuit City and Direct TV.The first part of "God's Jewish Warriors" compared Jewish and Christian "radicals" to Muslim supporters of suicide terror, presented anti-Israel commentators with no counterbalance, falsely labeled the West Bank as Palestinian land and minimized Jewish rights to the Temple Mount – Judaism's holiest site, the critics said. During last week's program, Amanpour also conducted a friendly interview about Israel with former President Jimmy Carter, whose most recent book, "Palestine: Peace, not Apartheid," criticized the Jewish state's treatment of Palestinians. The book was slammed for a series of falsehoods and was widely labeled anti-Israeli by a number of media critics.The CAMERA said the CNN series is "false in its basic premise, established in the opening scene in which Jewish (and Christian) religious fervency is equated with that of Muslims heard endorsing 'martyrdom,' or suicide-murder. There is, of course, no counterpart among Jews and Christians to the violent jihadist Muslim campaigns under way across the globe."Amanpour's "God's Warriors" describes itself as focusing on religious fundamentalism among Christians, Muslims and Jews.The Jewish segment started off comparing "Jewish terrorists" to that of Muslims, specifically focusing on the few instances of violence or attempted violence by religiously motivated Jews against Muslims. It told the story of Baruch Goldstein, an American-born Israeli physician who killed 29 Arabs in the West Bank city of Hebron in 1994. Goldstein's actions were widely condemned by Israelis and worldwide Jewry. The organization he was a part of was outlawed in Israel.States the CAMERA report:"While in reality Jewish 'terrorism' is virtually non-existent, the program magnifies at length the few instances of (Jewish) violence" comparing it to "violent jihadist Muslim campaigns" when indeed there is no such comparison "either in numbers of perpetrators engaged or in the magnitude of death and destruction wrought."To read more go to:
PS:I watched one episode that coincidentally was the one depicting a christian family,last week and Christiane Amanpour acted like a "jerk" with the sort of "ill intentioned questions" with which she inquired from the young parents and their children,portraying christian parents that homeschool like"NUTS"...It was really upsetting.Then she went on a rant showing "Battle Cry"the big gathering that I posted in this blog...also portraying its leader and the students of his college like"weird"...
After I got upset,I kind of reminisced of when I've seen C.Amapour in the past covering for CNN....WHat can you expect from somebody like her?
The woman,may say what she wants about her system of beliefs but the truth is that she is deeply CONFUSED about what a true christian,a true jew and a true muslim is.
Of course she puts us ALL in the same bag,so as to make us christians and jews look that "terrorists"
Do ya all see the same pattern I'm seeing here with the media...??Slowly desensitizing people to the idea that christians are TERRORISTS,When and only WHEN they STAND FOR WHAT THEY BELIEVE...
No wonder christian parents in countries like Germany had to flee to other countries or cities,cause they have been persecuted and treated like mental cases,just because they want to be in charge of theirs children education...
If you are a christian that still todays prays,fasts,reads and believes the Bible,attend a church regularly and try to live a christian life separated from the system of this world....then you -my brother and sister- are a TERRORIST for the vast majority of liberals and God haters out there....The world will always love the things of this world and we will always be persecuted and scorned...that
's nothing new...I pray that C.Amanpour can have a personal encounter with the God of the Bible,with JesusChrist,before it's too late for her...
Thousands stand in the valley of decision at this urgent and evil hour....
Where do you stand today....????
As in the days of Noah...
