Any I have to ask you why the do you bash CNN for their war reporting when it is far better then that of CBS, MSNBC, or NBC?

CNN has been on the ball this year above even Fox with their coverage of the major changing events in Iraq, first and foremost the changes inside the Sunni community against al-Qaeda.

Ummmm ..... For the same reason that I bash Fidel Castro who is far better than Joseph Stalin or for the same reason I would hate to get a fractured femur even though it is far better than an osteosarcoma of the femur?

If A is worse than B, it does not follow that B is not despicable or is not worthy of scorn.

But, then again, "far better" is subjective when it comes to CNN.

Operation Tailwind - Letter to CNN President

When Saddam Hussein needed help in Kuwait, CNN was there, with U.S. traitor Peter Arnett, its chief Baghdad correspondent, who obtained unprecedented access, since Hussein knew CNN was sympathetic towards him per its agreement to keep silent about his torture chambers, prisons and rape rooms. At the start of Operation Iraq Freedom in March 2003, Arnett even went on state-controlled Iraqi TV to call for the U.S.’s defeat. It was only after CNN took a major hit in the cable ratings that it decided to fire Arnett. .......... This was the same Peter Arnett who pushed a bogus story that falsely accused U.S. and allied forces of purposely bombing a baby milk factory, which actually turned out to be a biological weapons plant. In the end, CNN’s sole purpose for “reporting” on the Gulf War was to embarrass and undermine then-President George H.W. Bush. In 1998, Arnett also falsely accused U.S. soldiers of launching sarin gas attacks on Laotian civilians in 1970. Hollywood later romanticized CNN by making a movie version (“Live From Baghdad”) of the anti-U.S. cable network’s so-called adventures in “reporting” on the war, which not surprisingly starred fellow terrorist sympathizer, Janeane Garofalo.

So, before the war and in the aftermath of the war, CNN was the mouthpiece for the Sunnis Baathists and now that the Sunnis have found al Qaeda to be bad bedfellows, CNN is still the mouthpiece for the Sunni Baathist.

Lucky for us that U.S. interests and Sunni Baathists interests are now coinciding so that the CNN Bureau Chief is not actively calling for a U.S. defeat as was the case in March 2003.

So, are your retirement benefits at CNN better or worse after the Time Warner/AOL merger?
