CNN Chief makes right move !

[Miss Marple]

All this and Maureen Dowd, too? Pokey, I can only credit the workings of the Lord. Nothing else explains it.

LOL, ratings must be dropping and irate phone calls must be rising so Sir Walter decides to be fair and balanced to his own country.

[NetSurfer]

CNN striving for balance?

:::falling out of my chair:::

[Pokey78]

Ping.

[Reagan Man]

The chairman of CNN has ordered his staff to balance images of civilian devastation in Afghan cities with reminders that the Taliban harbors murderous terrorists, saying it "seems perverse to focus too much on the casualties or hardship in Afghanistan."

When I see it, I'll believe it!

Until then, it's BS!

[Brad’s Gramma]

. "You want to make sure people understand that when they see civilian suffering there, it's in the context of a terrorist attack that caused enormous suffering in the United States."

While this is absolutely correct ... what's become of this nation (news media I should say) that this even needs to be said? All the more reason I rely on FR and talk radio.

[Richard Kimball]

Actually, I believe CNN is trying to stop the bleeding of their ratings. However, if a jackass flies, even if it's only for ten feet, you've gotta be impressed.

[TheLion]

So why do these idiots need to cover civilian casualties over there at all......duh? I am sorry but they, in effect, do work as a propaganda arm for our enemies!

[FReethesheeples]

Good!!

[formernyer]

I will be ever astonished by people who only empathize with the enemy's victims, what about our own???? Why is there such a disconnect in these people's heads? Good for CNN guy. Not to exploit it of make light, but maybe an image of one or two of the inhalation anthrax cases fighting for his or her life in a hospital bed with a ditty about his/her worried/angry/sad family or even some gruesome photos of the cutaneous cases (even as opposed to the one man who has survived so far, which, don't get me wrong, is great, but there are many more afflicted people out there) would help.

[CheneyChick]

So, they finally realized how anti-American they were being?? Losers.

[MamaLucci]

"I want to make sure we're [CNN] not used as a propaganda platform,"

Hohoho-heeheehee...stop it, Walter...yer killin me...ROFL!

[summer]

Thank you so much, Pokey78! I guess I wasn't dreaming! :)

[CWOJackson]

Amazing...good find.

Tell Bob high for me.

[Timesink]

Let us never forget that by giving this order, Isaacson is AGREEING with us that CNN has been wildly biased up until now! There would be no need for such a memo if CNN had already been biased!

Woodruff will probably resign tomorrow, of course. <grin>

[Balding_Eagle]

Saw the headline and honestly thought he was insisting that CNN show more of Taliban side of the issues and war.

Still kinda think thats what he means..........

[MississippiMan]

Nah, this can't be true. A CNN exec trying to make any effort at all toward "balanced" coverage? Staggering.

[Randy Larsen]

"CNN Chief Orders 'Balance' in War News

Yeah, right....

[Reborn]

"I want to make sure we're not used as a propaganda platform," Isaacson said in an interview yesterday.

Yeah, and ol' Slick is going to become a Republican. LOL
Don't you believe it!!! Censored News Network (can't use the word terrorist, like Reuters) is a loser. For the only REALLY balanced news watch FOX!
