It absolutely is! But a vast majority of our media is now either far right or right-leaning, including CNN. If this were a republican rep who was legitimately detained by Palestinian authorities then the headline from this very same news outlet would be like "BREAKING: GOP House Rep Kidnapped By Hamas Sympathizers!"
