One CNN reporter down… at least three more to go

CNN is just having a dickens of a time finding unbiased "reporters" and anchors these days. Most don't seem to have the self discipline to contain their emotions during newscasts and interviews. But finally the nation may have seen where CNN's threshhold just may be.

Octavia Nasr, CNN's Senior ME correspondent, found herself canned by the nation's second media news giant after twittering her sorrow over the death of Hezbollah terrorist, Sayyed Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah. She spent the next hours trying to undo what she had done with more clarification:

Facing an immediate and harsh backlash, she backpeddled back pedaled (duh... thanks, DaNang.... careless error) Tuesday in a blog post, saying she didn't endorse the life work of Fadlallah - who was labeled a terrorist by US officials.

"Not the kind of life to be commenting about in a brief tweet. It's something I deeply regret," she wrote. Still, she praised Fadlallah for being a pioneer on "woman's rights," and warning Muslim men against abusing their wives.

Despite recognizing an instant faux pas, her backpeddling wasn't going to cut the mustard with CNN's heads, who rightly noted her "credibility" was shot. But then, to listen to the lib/prog site, Think Progress, they're convinced that CNN "caved" to "right wing neocons"..... right. Since when? heh

So that's one down. Got a few more that should go. How about Susan Roesgen, and her decidedly less professional encounter at an April 2009 tea party? See the videos at FreedomEden blogsite, and here's the transcript below:

It’s the “JOOWS” fault!

I remember CNN’s coverage of Israel’s Lebanon war against Hezbollah. My guess is that most of CNN agrees with her. Its a bummer getting canned by your friends for saying out loud what your friends think.

Wouldn’t it just be easier for CNN to merge with Al Jazeera, rather than have to replace it’s entire news staff?

IS CNN (Controlled News Network) reporting the Black Panther Case yet, as of this morning, you couldn't find it anywhere on their site. Amazing, I cover it on my "little blog" that has more information than CNN? Something is mighty wrong here! Doesn't matter about their reporters ... any one who can "read" qualifies. It's the people who write the stuff (or don't) that need to go.

It is easier for a Camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a Journalist from CNN or MSNBC to hide their bias.

I wish your comment was just , "I remember CNN."
