(11:05) Barak meets CNN representatives over coverage
Prime Minister Ehud Barak met recently with three representatives of the CNN
network in an effort to clarify claims of slanted and one-sided reportage of
violence in the territories by the US network.
Members of the Prime Minister's Office and the Foreign Ministry were present
at the meeting, the Hebrew daily "Ma'ariv" reports.
The CNN representatives expressed concern at the meeting about reports of
American Jews selling off stock in the parent company, Time-Warner, in
protest over the network's coverage of the current crisis.
Jewish leaders in the US said they were having some success in convincing
CNN to change its reportage on the conflict.
In an effort to mollify critics, CNN recently stopped airing reports from
correspondent Rula Amin in Gaza and ceased referring to the Jerusalem
neighborhood of Gilo as a "settlement."
