Before Dan there was CNN’s Eason Jordan admitting that all the news coming out of Baghdad prior to the war was just Hussein’s propaganda......
CNN covered up torture abuse and murder under Saddam Hussein to maintain their Baghdad bureau.
That whole incident STILL fills me with fury!
The bastard excused his actions by insisting that they wouldn't be able to get any news out of Iraq if he didn't do what he did, but nobody ever bothered to ask him why you need news coming out of Iraq if it's just propaganda!
The only reason I can think is the unstated premise that CNN would still have something to sell to its viewers, so what it boils down to is betraying news consumers for the purpose of keeping revenue up.
