At the rate CNN is going, they're going to take themselves off the air anyway. Their ratings have been spiralling for years. And a good thing too--their irresponsible reporting is reprehensible.

But it's the seriousness of the charges..

;)

Excellent letter to CNN- this topic has been discussed on FOX this morning as well- and Kofi is being called on the carpet because he jumped the gun..

Do you really think CNN would be so clumsy as to not cut the film in time? They've been lying for years. They are better at it than that.

No they weren't - at least not in real time.

When this video first appeared on CNN's web page it was about 3 min long. Among other things it contained a first attempt by the little girl to throw herself across her dead parent - missed and had to do it again.

The video has now been cut down to 45 seconds and lots of the initial mistakes have been edited out. The same goes for the BBC version which now contains some very artistic cuts in MTV mode - much too fast for the unsuspecting viewer to become suspicious. But BBC also showed the initial 3 min version before it was cut and edited.

A lot of us call CNN the "communist news network" for a reason.

They are part of Pravda West. Not particularly worse than CBS or ABC or NBC or the New York Times or Washington Post, etc.

Yes, he's there the whole time. Lying very still and playing dead not so very well. And after the little girl "throws herself" on her "mother" she is seen soon after casually strolling away as if her part is over and she needs to go freshen up in her trailer.
