In 2000, CNN representatives expressed concern about reports of American Jews selling off stock in the parent company, in protest over the network's coverage of the situation in the Middle-East after the breakdown of the peace accord. From the other side, Jewish leaders in the USA said they were having some success in convincing CNN to change its reportage on the conflict. In a direct effort to mollify its critics, for example, CNN stopped airing reports from a specific correspondent in Gaza and ceased referring to the Jerusalem neighbourhood of Gilo as a 'settlement'.
