Avoiding talking about some things you see in Iraq that would get your news network kicked out so they will never get to see anything else is not reporting Saddam’s talking points verbatium.
Unlike you I remember all too clearly their early coverage of this Iraq War as well as the 1998 bombing of Iraq and both times it was very anti Saddam and pro-American.
Your memory is faulty.
CNN’s Eason Jordan admitted that they did not tell the truth about Iraq while Saddam was in power.
...awful things that could not be reported because doing so would have jeopardized the lives of Iraqis, particularly those on our Baghdad staff. ...
....I felt awful having these stories bottled up inside me. Now that Saddam Hussein’s regime is gone, I suspect we will hear many, many more gut-wrenching tales from Iraqis about the decades of torment. At last, these stories can be told freely. ....

They softpedaled the evil nature of Iraq and were clearly not anti-Sadam. If you don’t care about getting the truth in your news, why don’t you read and post somewhere else?
Do you have an attention deficit disorder?
Read what I linked.
Read what CNN correspondent Peter Collins said:
Did it register with you this time?
"'Tom Johnson wants you to read this on camera,' he said."
"It was an item-by-item summary of points made by Information Minister Latif Jassim in an interview that morning with Mr. Johnson and Mr. Jordan."
"I read the information minister's points VERBATIM."

You are bragging about "remembering" when you cannot even recall reading 5 minutes ago that CNN Baghdad correspondent Peter Collins said that he was asked to read Information Minister Latif Jassim's talking points by a CNN producer and he read them VERBATIM?
So, what is your job at CNN?
