Despite the Palestinian terrorist attack and a number of Israeli casualties, the emphasis of the story is that the threat of continued violence is from Israel and not the Palestinian gunmen. Notice how the leading picture in this article is of a grieving Palestinian mother. Seldom does CNN show grieving Israelis. Emphasis is an important tool in creating bias. Notice that the gunman, Baha Said, is named within the second paragraph of the article whereas his Israeli victim s name is left until the sixth paragraph before being mentioned in passing.
Palestinian opinion is presented as fact.
The Fatah Hawks, an armed militia faction of Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement, claimed responsibility for Said's actions. If you read carefully, the article contradicts itself. A lone gunman suggests that he acted by himself. Yet clearly the Fatah Hawks sanctioned the attack. Indeed the article seems to agree with the justification of the attack provided by the Fatah hawks.
