CNN and the NYT Are Deliberately Obscuring Who Perpetrated the Afghan Hospital Attack
Much of the world spent the last 48 hours expressing revulsion at the
U.S. airstrike on a hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan. It was quite clear
early on that the perpetrator of the attack was the U.S., and many
media outlets and other organizations around the world have been stating
this without any difficulties.
“U.S. Airstrike Kills 19 at Doctors Without Borders Hospital in Afghanistan,” states the straightforward Wall Street Journal headline,
under which appears this equally clear lede: “A U.S. airstrike in the
Afghan city of Kunduz killed at least 19 people at a hospital run by
international medical-aid organization Doctors Without Borders early
Saturday, prompting condemnation from humanitarian groups and the United
Nations.”
