It’s actually gotten worse. The management of CNN changed recentlyish and has been pushing CNN more to the right. I think it was to increase viewership, but ultimately just means the quality (not that it was very high to begin with) has dropped.
Intercepting a ship that intends to run a blockade in international waters is legal according to international law. The flotilla had stated its intention repeatedly and were warned several times before being intercepted and finally boarded.
That assumes the blockade is legal though? Has an international court that is recognized by the ship’s flag country declared the legality of the blockade?
What an anemic headline. How did she become detained? By an act of piracy and kidnapping in international waters. CNN is a tool of the oligarchs.
It is known. CNN has always been lib slop

Watching their recent coverage of LA and NY I was kinda astounded by the slant on it.

I don’t know of a court ruling. The UN‘s Palmer Report declared it Legal.
However as with lots of things regarding international law, there are different opinions.
Icj in 2024 said it was illegal. They wasn’t even intercepted in gaza water. No matter how you look at it it was illegal.
Its only illegal if you don’t have nukes
you might disagree with what’s happening but this was legal. Israel has a blockade there
It’s a really good example of how abuse and evil can often be legal while doing what’s right can often be illegal.
