Don't forget that CNN (and this is a fact that has been documented by no less an authority than Eason Jordan himself, in the op-ed section of the NYT) has continually bowed at the alter of power.
Even though the fraudulent news reports emanating from their bureaus in Iraq and Cuba-and remember too that they are the only mainstream TV network pliant enough to submit to Castro's wishes and allow his gov't to vet their stories-offer the most startling examples of their compliance with dictatorial regimes, they are not anomalous, by any stretch of the imagination.
As much as I loathe the fact that FOX NEWS refuses to voice ample criticism of Hu Jintao and the rest of that corrupt, dictatorial gerontocracy, their fealty to the bottom line does not even begin to compare to the voluntary blindness practiced by the executives at the Central News Network.
Don't expect to see them addressing the scope of the dissatisfaction with the Iranian mullah-crocy, voiced by the captive citizens of that nation, any time in the near or distant future.
