CNN Europe TV

CNN coverage was interrupted with a report that the CNN crew was being asked to leave Baghdad. Iraqi officials told them that their operations would be shut down.

I am hearing this from Paris. The TV is on in my hotel room.

[Drango]

Big whopte-do. the 16 people watchiing CNN can switch to another channel.

No worry for CNN - the 7th Armored Cavalry is delivering a CNN correspondent to Bagdhad and I think he'll be there within a few days.

Since there aren't piles of dead Iraqi civilians to gin up the propaganda machine, there's no need for CNN.

[YOMO]

Oh no, NOT MR. PETER. I am shocked and talked to death.

[William McKinley]

Guess some French station has negotiated exclusive Iraqi propaganda rights.

[aristeides]

Another indication that Saddam is no longer in control?

[Agent Smith]

Now, if could only expel CNN and ted turner from the USA...

[BureaucratusMaximus]

Look like the main event is about to start!

[Lady Jag]

Just CNN? Why?

[lunatic12]

The Iraqi's must've read the overnight Nielsen ratings.

[William McKinley]

I think Rick Leventhal with Fox will get there first ;-)

[floriduh voter]

LOL.

[fnord]

good point! and might I suggest we prevent their reentry to this country?

[ElectricStrawberry]

Understand the reasoning for this.

Q: Why wouldn't he want the media around?

A: Because he's about to commit mass atrocities on his own people to blame on the good-ole US coalition. Because he's about to bring out the dead bodies he's got on-ice (that I believe he has) and throw them around to blame on the good-ole US coalition.

That's the only logical reason I can think of.

[Gamecock]

ROTFLMHO! That's funny!

FOX will be there soon, courtesy of the 3rd ID (ROCK OF THE MARNE)

[RooRoobird14]

LOL--such irony!!!

[tractorman]

They don't want to take the chance of CNN accidentally reporting the truth.

[twigs]

I'm not sure what this means. Wish I did.

[Thane_Banquo]

Excellent.
