Peter Arnett reporting from Baghdad and Bernard Shaw anchoring from the US

If i recall correctly , both Arnett and Shaw were in Baghdad at the time.
They did their live report from under the bed in a hotel room.
They also refused to be debriefed by the US military upon their return, saying the usual BS about they being above country loyalties"' etc.

Peter Arnett and Bernard Shaw WERE the ones and probably anyone with cable WAS glued to their TVs at the time. But when later the Arnette traitor absolutely refused to debrief info AND flat out said when asked if he would warn OUR military if he had pertinent facts that would be harmful TO our military, I believe he said NO.

At that point I was so appalled I never had any reason to watch CNN again. Now one of the debates will be anchored by that Candy Crowley who was having a tizzy fit on air about Paul Ryan not having a TIE on, when announced last weekend. SHE was chosen? WHY and the GOP/RNC says we are overreacting. As Paul Ryan continues to say - you are either part of the problem or part of the solution. Well folks - WE need to be part of the solution. Let's get on this - volunteer do what you can for victory in November.

There is actually a pretty interesting conspiracy theory about CNN being in Iraq back in the day. Some funny youtube videos of off camera moments that make it look a little...well...its funny whether true or not.
