As I posted on another thread, I do not trust CNN. They do not necessarily lie, as such, but they do not give all the information. Unfortunately the media is not always to be wholly trusted, and it does not lead to their downfall!
On CNN it was reported "Taliban declares holy war on US"
On ALL BRITISH TV news stations it was reported "Taliban has said they will declare holy war on US if Afghanistan is bombed by US"
They are 2 very different things. I have also heard from several people that the film Ertai referred to is 9 years old. I believe that, because I have seen the inconsistencies in CNNs reporting with my own eyes, by comparing it with the 4 other British news channels I recieve. I also remember seeing very similar (my memory isn't so good that I can recall if they were exact) scenes of Palestinians celebrating the invasion of Kuwait in 1991. It is common practice for media to use old film stock if they do not have any images. Again, it is not exactly lying, and because it is common practice they will not have to justify themselves or apologise if the rumours are true.
