Third paragraph.

Well, I am truly relieved now that CNN(Chicken Noodle News) is back on in Iran.

Perhaps now I can rent that beautiful little cottage on the Straits of Hormuz for this summer's vacation?

"Since we don't not understand sarcasm..."

[razoroccam]

Amanpour is good enough reason to ban CNN.

[JeeperFreeper]

CNN evidently is not being quite the propaganda arm the Iranians would like, as it was for Saddam's regime. But, rest assured, the network is working diligently to do a better job as the mullahs' mouthpiece.

[JennysCool]

I recall one of the Iranian objections to her was she was not properly covered. I can get behind that one.

[boomop1]

They love their ally.

[presidio9]

[JennysCool]

Good Lord.

[dfwgator]

Of course the Iranians may object to the fact that Amanpour is married to a "Joooo."

[evets]

Christiane Amanpour was a
" CIA and Mossad agent with a bad record..."

You're busted be-atch.

[trebb]

"CNN has clarified what the Iranian president said and apologized here on the air to the Iranians directly," the newscaster said.

Yet, the MSM will never apologize to us for all their treasonous acts and deliberate lies...

[Fenris6]

Hillarious. So all we need to do to get a correction from CNN's mistatements re the USA is to ban it?

[bessay]

"Amanpour is good enough reason to ban CNN.

Hey! Leave HIM alone!

[Pyro7480]

The Jomhuri-e-Eslami newspaper said Tuesday that CNN correspondent Christiane Amanpour was a " CIA and Mossad agent with a bad record" who should be barred from Iran.

LOL! I love it!

" CIA and Mossad agent with a bad record"

CIA, maybe, Mossad, never. She could have been a snitch for the Mossad, but the Israeli's are too smart to ever have had that bitch on staff. She is not to be trusted and never has been.
