I have never seen a network(all jihadi watch all the time) so desperate for traction and so bent on rationalizing everything they do or don't do.
I guess they have figured out that we are on to them and they are not being seen in a very favorable light anymore.To say the very least.(their numbers probably tell them that as well!)
They are outraged that Saddam's hanging was done "only hours before a major moslem holiday" yet felt compelled to cover it since all their competitors would be.(a failed attempt at triangulation there?) They were also outraged at the grainy unedited version of the hanging making the rounds on the net by a cell phone who photoed it poorly. (could it be they just can't stand any competition at all, even from the poorest and meekest of the bunch?)
Anyway, woof, woof(without the benefit of higher platform shoes or more phone books to sit on) goes on rambling his l/w pap trying to get one of his third world spokesmen to poo poo the hanging but really getting no where.
Cnn gives the impression of a dying network in the throes of their death watch.
