Selective Reporting

In the inevitable human tragedy of natural disaster one has to question the selective reporting practices of CNN.

Headlines like "Bible survives deadly tornado" include a report in which the survivor is recorded to state that God made a tent though which her son escaped the disaster. Another reports that the church was still attended despite the death of 20 individuals in the local community: "Church gone, worship goes on after tornado."

I hope you see the problem with such selective reporting. It is not really reporting, it's propaganda.
