Huh. This is a very interesting thing for CNN. Not that they spun things to fit an agenda (It IS a news agency, after all. They all do that.), but that they spun it to be pro-Israel. It seems to me that CNN leans primarily left of center (Though not so far as MSNBC), but it seems that the majority of Democrats/Liberals are against Israel, at least from my experience. Anybody want to fill me in if I happen to be off on this?

From my perspective as a Canadian it seems like being pro-Israel is the thing to do if you're a public figure in the US. And it wouldn't be the first time CNN were pro-war, as with the Iraq war.

It definitely is for Republicans, but I'm not sure about Dems. And CNN could have been pro-war (a term I take issue with, but it gets the job done) without being on Israel's side. I'm just interested in seeing where this leads, really.
