It's not like US television news is particularly pro Palestine, it clearly isn't, but Israel's behavior has been so atrocious and openly genocidal that even slanted news coverage on CNN makes Israeli behavior look awful.
Yeah I mean hell Christiane Amanpour has been showing footage of the totally obliterated neighborhoods of Gaza for literally two years, has done stories on the rapes at the Sde Teiman torture camp, interviewed Mustafa Barghouti, talked to Palestinians in East Jerusalem.
