Christiane Amanpour's God's Warriors, "the Jews," and "the Occupied Territories": Is this for Real? by Robert Eisenman (Huffington Post)

CNN's Scheduling Bias (CAMERA)
In CNN's 3-part series, "God's Warriors," Christiane Amanpour repeated the phrase "God's Jewish warriors" 20 times, but said "Muslim warriors" only four times. Was CNN trying to place extra emphasis on the Jewish warriors and less on the Muslim warriors? Maybe.

When it comes to CNN's programming schedule, though, there is no doubt that the network was emphasizing the sins of the Jews. As of this week, CNN has broadcast its "Jewish Warriors" program a total of five times. The segment on the other two religions, on the other hand, have been aired only three times. Last Saturday night, CNN rebroadcast the segment about Jews twice, while rebroadcasting the other two segments only once. And again on Sunday night, the Jewish Warriors program got double duty.

On top of this, though CNN felt it was worthwhile to change the order of the Christian and Muslim segment from Saturday to Sunday — presumably so that the segment that played late-night on Saturday would run a bit earlier the following evening — the Jewish segment remained in the prime, earlier spot.

Here is the CNN schedule for the past weekend:

Saturday Eastern Time Pacific Time
9pm 6pm God's Warriors - Jewish
11pm 8pm God's Warriors - Muslim
1am 10pm God's Warriors - Christian
3am 12am God's Warriors - Jewish

Sunday Eastern Time Pacific Time
9pm 6pm God's Warriors - Jewish
11pm 8pm God's Warriors - Christian
1am 10pm God's Warriors - Muslim
3am 12am God's Warriors - Jewish

Why did CNN run the Jewish segment twice? Why did it leave that segment in a prime time slot despite switching the order of the other two segments? Ask CNN.
