The Story: Hamas 'Mickey Mouse' character teaches hatred on a Palestinian children's television show urging children "to fight Israel and work for global Islamic domination."

Background: The show was exposed by the Jerusalem Post and the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) which provided an english translation.

Print media coverage: There were two types of headlines used to present the same material. This is where the bias becomes obvious.

1. Hamas 'Mickey Mouse' Wants Islam Takeover.
2. Hamas 'Mickey Mouse' Preaches Resistance.

Television coverage: Very scant. Glenn Beck of CNN was planning a feature on this and guess what happened? CNN invented a translation controversy over one word to pull the whole story - the whole story!

The original translation had been reviewed internally by CNN and independently SIX TIMES, but right before air time the story gets scrubbed by unknown CNN executives. Blatant media bias to kill the story.

Listen to Glenn Beck's explanation of what happened.
