CNN Journo Lambasted Over Palestine

Watch a CNN reporter get lambasted by an Egyptian podcaster over the channel’s bias coverage of the Israel-Palestine war. In a video that’s gone viral, journalist Clarissa Ward gets singled out by Rahma Zein while filming at the Rafah crossing. She accuses Western media of lacking humanity following Israel’s assault on Gaza which has killed nearly 2,000 Palestinian children so far. Tel Aviv is also threatening a full ground offensive following Hamas’ surprise October 7th attack which killed over 1,400 Israelis. Zein was among hundreds of protesters who held pro-Palestinian banners, including one that said “CNN wake up.” They'd gathered at the Egypt-Gaza border after Israel's refusal to allow the delivery of aid. It's often said journalists are the watchdogs of society and hold the powerful to account. But this exchange shows how that perception is crumbling. The sense of injustice over this conflict is running so high, the public are now acting as watchdogs over the media.
